4055917704 Genuine 180mm 1100W Coil Hotplate Element for Chef, Westinghouse, Electrolux Stoves and Cooktops, No Trim Ring

Part 4055917704 is a genuine 180mm coil hotplate element rated at 1100 watts. It is used on a wide range of Chef, Westinghouse and Electrolux stoves and coil cooktops. The element comes on its own, without a trim ring, so you can reuse the existing ring if it is still in good condition. Because so many models share it, matching the size and wattage of your old element is the easiest way to confirm fit.

Coil hotplate not heating on your Chef or Westinghouse stove

A coil element is a sheathed heating wire wound into a flat spiral. Current through the wire makes it glow, and the heat passes straight into the pan. After years of heating and cooling, the sheath can crack, blister or sag, and the wire inside can burn through. The usual signs are a plate that stays cold, heats only in one section, sparks, or trips the safety switch when turned on. If one plate fails while the others work, the element itself or its control switch is the place to start.

Fitting a coil element

Stoves and cooktops are hard-wired, so switch off at the isolating switch or circuit breaker first, and have a licensed electrician do any work on the fixed wiring. Note how the old element sits and how its terminals connect before removing it. Check the terminals or connector block for burn marks, as a scorched connection will damage the new element. Seat the new coil level so pans sit flat.
