Stock number 1748 is a generic 6 1\/4 inch electric hotplate rated at 1250W. It isn't made for one particular brand, so the right way to match it is by size, wattage and connection style. Measure your old plate across its diameter and check the rating printed on it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon hotplate faults on electric cooktops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn electric hotplate converts current into heat that passes straight into the base of your pan. Most failures are easy to spot. The plate stays cold on every setting, heats only on high, glows unevenly or develops a crack or bulge in its surface. A burning smell, sparking at the terminals or a tripping safety switch also point to a breakdown inside the plate. Before replacing it, check the energy regulator for that plate, because a failed switch can leave a good hotplate cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric electric hotplate, stock number 1748\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 1\/4 inch size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 1250W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot tied to one brand, match by size, wattage and terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 1\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1250W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a replacement hotplate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the cooktop off at the circuit breaker, not just the knobs. Electric cooktops are hard-wired, so in Australia a licensed electrician should handle the replacement. Compare the terminal layout and mounting of the old plate with the new one before connecting anything, and photograph the wiring first. Once fitted, run the plate on low for a few minutes. Some smoke on first use is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if 1748 will fit my cooktop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the diameter of your old hotplate, check its wattage label and look at how it connects and mounts.
