It's the control behind the knob that sets how hard the plate heats. No model list is on file for this number. Check the part number on the regulator's body, or send your cooktop's model and PNC and we'll confirm it suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElectric hotplate stuck on high or not heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn energy regulator controls a cooking zone. Unlike a simple on and off switch, it sets the heat level, and this one gives seven distinct positions. When it fails, the hotplate may stay on full whatever the setting, refuse to heat at all, only work on certain positions, or the knob may feel loose or crunchy as it turns. Burnt or loose terminals at the back are a common cause, so check the wiring as well. A plate that is cold on every setting may also have a failed element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 3890832011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy regulator switch with 7 steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls an electric cooking zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModels not recorded, match the number on the old regulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSteps\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the energy regulator safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooktops are normally hard-wired, so isolate the circuit at the switchboard and have a licensed electrician fit the regulator. Before disconnecting anything, take clear photos of every terminal and wire colour, as getting one wrong can damage the element or the new switch. Pull the knob straight off, release the regulator from its bracket and move the wires across one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a regulator with a different number of steps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's best not to. The number of steps and the internal switching suit a particular element and knob marking, so a different regulator may not line up with the knob or give the right heat. Stick with 3890832011 if that's what came out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551192117326,"sku":"3890832011","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/3890832011-genuine-electrolux-7-step-energy-regulator-switch","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
