Genuine Electrolux hotplate element 85801220044043 is a 1500W, 6 inch EGO unit of the low profile type, and it's also listed as 0122004404. It belongs to the Electrolux group cooking range, used on electric cooktops and the cooktop section of upright stoves. Element sizes, ratings and terminal layouts vary, so check the number, wattage and diameter against the element you're replacing.

Hotplate not heating? Signs of a failed element

An electric hotplate element turns current into heat through a resistance wire sealed inside. When that wire breaks, the plate stays cold on every setting while the others work normally. Other signs include a plate that heats only in patches, visible cracks or bulges, a safety switch that trips as soon as it's turned on, or burnt and loose terminals underneath. If the element tests open circuit, or shows leakage to earth, it needs replacing. If it tests fine, the energy regulator for that plate is the next thing to check.

Fitting the hotplate element

Isolate power at the switchboard, as most cooktops and stoves are hard-wired, and have a licensed electrician make the connections. Photograph the terminals before disconnecting anything so each lead goes back on the right post. Check the new element sits level in its mounting, then test each heat setting before the cooker goes back into use.

Questions about this part

How do I measure a 6 inch hotplate?

Measure straight across the element's face from edge to edge. Six inches is roughly 150mm. Also look for the wattage stamped on the old element, which should read 1500W if this is the matching part.
