575487P Genuine Hi-Light Radiant Element 180mm for Fisher & Paykel Ceramic Cooktops, Cooking Zone Heater Under Glass

Measuring 180mm across, 575487P is a genuine Fisher & Paykel hi-light radiant element for ceramic glass cooktops. It is the heater under one cooking zone. No wattage or model list is on file, so check that your old element is a single 180mm zone and compare any number on its label. Send your cooktop's model number through the parts enquiry form if you'd like us to confirm before ordering.

Ceramic cooktop zone not heating

A hi-light element is a coiled ribbon heater set into an insulated dish beneath the ceramic glass. It reaches working heat within seconds and glows red under the zone. Each element is switched by an energy regulator or control, and most have a temperature limiter that protects the glass. When the element breaks, that zone stays cold while the others work. A failed limiter or regulator can look the same, so test the element's resistance before replacing it. Broken ribbon or a scorched terminal is often visible once the glass is lifted.

Changing a hi-light element

Cooktops are hard-wired, so a licensed electrician should do the job with the circuit isolated at the switchboard. Lift the cooktop from the bench, open the base or remove the glass to reach the elements, and photograph the terminal connections first. Press the new element firmly into position so it sits flat under the glass, then test the zone on every setting.

Questions about this part

How do I measure my element?

Measure across the outside of the element dish, edge to edge. This one is 180mm. If your zone has two heating rings, it's a dual element and needs a different part, so send us your model number to check.
