140210821017 Genuine Plate Bowl Assembly 700 for Electrolux Group Cooktops, Replacement Cooktop Hotplate Bowl Assembly

140210821017 is a genuine Electrolux group plate bowl assembly, version 700. Plate bowls are the dished pieces that sit around and under a hotplate, holding it in place and catching spills. The stock description gives no size or model list, and 700 may refer to the cooktop width or a range code, so please match this number with the old part or ask us to check it against your model.

When a cooktop plate bowl needs replacing

The bowl around a hotplate does two jobs. It supports the plate at the right height in the cooktop and it stops boil-overs running down into the wiring below. Years of heat and spills can leave a bowl warped, rusted, pitted or cracked, and a damaged bowl can let the hotplate sit unevenly or rock under a pan. Liquid getting past a failed bowl can corrode terminals and cause the safety switch to trip. Badly stained bowls are also replaced simply to bring a tired cooktop back to a clean finish.

Fitting the plate bowl

Switch the cooktop off at the circuit breaker and make sure it has cooled. Cooktops are hard-wired, so in Australia any work near the wiring should be done by a licensed electrician. Note how the hotplate, bowl and any support brackets fit together before lifting them out. Seat the new bowl evenly so the hotplate sits level and the seal is intact.
