A solid plate that stays cold, trips the power or has cracked across its face needs replacing, and this is the genuine one for a long list of Electrolux group stoves.

Close to 100 model variants are on file, including the PAK520W and PAJ144W, the PHH266W, the EUC5140W and the 61F920W.

Solid hotplate not heating or tripping the power

Solid hotplates have the heating coil sealed inside a cast iron plate. Over years of use the internal insulation breaks down, and the plate either stops heating, heats unevenly, or develops a short to earth that trips the safety switch the moment it's turned on. Cracks in the plate surface, a burnt smell from underneath or blackened terminals are also signs it's finished. If one plate trips the RCD while the others work normally, the element is a likely suspect.

Changing a solid hotplate safely

Stoves and cooktops are hard wired, so in Australia this element must be fitted by a licensed electrician. Isolate the circuit at the switchboard and make sure the plate is cold. Take a photo of the terminal connections before disconnecting, check the wiring for heat damage, and replace any brittle or scorched leads. Test the new plate on each setting once power is restored.
