It is also listed for the PHN, PHP and PHR series, such as the PHR284U, PHN285S and PHP395U, and for the HK614010MB. The same regulator is catalogued as 3150788234.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCooktop element stuck on high or not heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn energy regulator does not dim the element the way a light dimmer would. Inside is a bimetal strip that switches the power on and off in cycles, and the knob setting decides how long each on period lasts. Low settings give short bursts, high settings keep it on almost constantly. When the regulator fails, the zone may stay at full heat on every setting, not heat at all, cycle erratically or work only at one position. A burning smell or crackling from behind the knob can point to burnt contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Westinghouse part 8583150788237\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross references 3150788234 and 315078823\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy regulator for a single cooking zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for WHC642BA, WHC644SA, WHC742BA and WHC942BA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso suits HK614010MB and PHN, PHP and PHR models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing an energy regulator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooktops are hard-wired, so isolate the power at the circuit breaker and have a licensed electrician carry out the work. Pull off the control knob and reach the regulator from below or behind the panel. Photograph the wiring before you disconnect anything and move each wire to the terminal with the same marking on the new regulator. Check the zone heats and cycles correctly on low and high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need one regulator for each zone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach zone normally has its own regulator. If only one zone is misbehaving, you generally only need to replace that one. If several zones fail at once, have the wiring and power supply checked as well, as a common fault may be the real cause.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550599671886,"sku":"8583150788237","price":52.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/8583150788237-genuine-westinghouse-cooktop-energy-regulator-switch.jpg?v=1792026080","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/8583150788237-genuine-westinghouse-cooktop-energy-regulator-switch","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
