Rusty or warped hotplate trim ring?

The trim ring sits between the solid hotplate and the cooktop surface, supporting the plate and sealing the gap so spills don't run underneath. It takes constant heat, so over the years it can rust, warp or discolour badly. A distorted ring lets the hotplate sit crooked or rock under a pan, and boil-overs can get under the cooktop where they bake on and corrode the wiring area. If the ring is pitted, loose or no longer sits flat, replacing it tidies up the cooktop and puts the hotplate back on a level, secure footing.

Fitting the trim ring

Turn the cooker off at the isolator and let the hotplates cool fully. The hotplate usually has to be lifted out or the cooktop raised to remove the ring, and the element stays connected to its wiring, so take care not to strain the leads. If any wiring needs to be disconnected, have a licensed electrician do it. Seat the new ring evenly and check the hotplate sits level.

Questions about this part

How do I know if I need the small or large ring?

Measure across the old ring or the hotplate it surrounds and compare it with the 150mm size listed for this small ring. Larger hotplates take a bigger ring, so check the size, and your model number on the compliance plate, before ordering.
