162926011 Genuine Hi-Light Radiant Element 210mm for Beko Ceramic Cooktops, Ceran Glass Hotplate Heating Element

Genuine Beko part 162926011 is a 210mm hi-light element for ceramic glass cooktops with a Ceran top. Hi-light elements sit under the glass and glow red when switched on, heating the pan through the glass. The 210mm figure is the element size, so measure across your old element to make sure it matches. No model list is on file, so check the number on the old element's label as well.

Ceramic cooktop zone not heating? Check the element

Under the glass, a hi-light element uses a coiled ribbon heater set in an insulated dish, usually with a rod limiter that cuts power if the glass gets too hot. When the ribbon breaks, the zone stays dark and cold even though the control lights up. A failing limiter can make the zone cycle off too often, so food takes longer to cook, or stop it heating at all. Before replacing the element, check the control switch or touch control and the wiring, and confirm the fault with a multimeter test across the element terminals.

Replacing a ceramic cooktop element

Ceramic cooktops are usually hard-wired, so isolate the circuit at the switchboard and have a licensed electrician carry out the work. The glass top lifts away once the cooktop is out of the bench or the fixings are released. Photograph the wiring and limiter connections, swap the element into the same position, and make sure it sits level against the glass before refitting.

Questions about this part

My cooking zone is marked a little smaller. Will a 210mm element fit?

Not necessarily. The element has to fit its mounting space and match the rating and wiring of the old one. Measure across your old element and compare the number on its label with 162926011, or send your cooktop model through our parts enquiry form.
