162926063 Genuine 1200W Hi-Light Hotplate Element for Beko Ceramic Cooktops, Radiant Cooking Zone Heater Under Glass

Beko's genuine 162926063 is a 1200W hi-light hotplate element, the radiant heater that sits under the glass on a ceramic cooktop. It is the replacement for Beko cooktops built with this exact element. No model list is on file for this number, so check that 162926063 matches the label on your old element, or send your cooktop's model number through the parts enquiry form before you order.

Ceramic cooktop zone not heating?

Under each cooking zone of a ceramic cooktop is a radiant element, a fine metal ribbon laid into an insulated dish. Switch the zone on and the ribbon glows, heating the glass above it. A failed element shows up as one zone that stays cold or only heats in patches while the others work normally. When the top is lifted, you may see a broken or lifted ribbon, or a scorch mark at a terminal. Before ordering, rule out the energy regulator for that zone, as a faulty control can look just like a dead element.

Changing a hi-light element

Cooktops are hard-wired, so a licensed electrician should fit this element with the circuit turned off at the switchboard. The glass top lifts off or hinges up once its fixings are removed. Take a photo of the wires on the old element before disconnecting anything. Seat the new one level so it sits snugly under the glass, then check that zone heats evenly.

Questions about this part

Will this element suit a different sized zone?

Only if the size and wattage match. Each zone on a ceramic cooktop has its own element, and this one is rated at 1200W. Measure the old element, read its label and confirm the number 162926063 before ordering.
