1751 Generic 8 Inch Hotplate Element 2100W, Universal Cooktop Part for Electric Cooktops and Freestanding Stoves

Part 1751 is a generic 8 inch hotplate element rated at 2100W, the larger of the common hotplate sizes used on electric cooktops and freestanding stoves. No specific brands or models are on file for it, so the best way to confirm fit is to compare it with your old element. Check the diameter, the wattage, the terminal style and the way it mounts.

Electric hotplate not heating or only partly glowing?

A hotplate element heats as current passes through the resistance wire inside its sheath. Over years of heating and cooling, that wire can break, the sheath can split or blister, or the terminals can burn where they meet the connector block. The usual signs are a hotplate that stays cold on every setting, heats only in one section, sparks or trips the safety switch, or shows visible cracks and bulges. If the element looks fine but the heat control is erratic, the energy regulator may be at fault instead.

Swapping a hotplate element

Turn the cooktop off at the switchboard and let the hotplates cool completely. Fixed-wired cooktops and stoves should be serviced by a licensed electrician. Note the wire positions on the old element's terminals and check the new element's terminals and mounting match. Connect it, sit it level in its opening and test on low and high.
