8583740636383 Genuine Radiant Heater Element 1800W 240V for Electrolux Group Ceramic Cooktops, Replacement Hotplate

Each zone on a ceramic cooktop has its own radiant heater under the glass, and genuine Electrolux part 8583740636383 is an 1800W, 240V heater for Electrolux group ceramic cooktops. Zones differ in diameter and wattage, so this one only replaces an 1800W zone of the matching size. There's no model list for this number yet, so check the number and rating on your old heater before ordering 8583740636383.

Ceramic cooktop zone not heating up

Under the glass, a radiant heater uses a coiled ribbon set into an insulated base to throw heat up through the cooktop surface. When the ribbon breaks or burns through, that zone stays dark and cold while the others work normally. You may also see a zone that only glows in patches, cycles strangely, or trips the safety switch. Before replacing the heater, rule out the energy regulator or control board for that zone, as a faulty control produces similar symptoms. A continuity test across the heater terminals confirms the fault.

Replacing a ceramic cooktop heater

Turn the cooktop off at the isolating switch or circuit breaker, as ceramic cooktops are usually hard-wired, and let the glass cool. The heater is reached from underneath once the cooktop is lifted out. Photograph the wiring and any limiter connections first. Because the work involves fixed wiring, it should be done by a licensed electrician.

Questions about this part

Does the heater come with the glass?

No, this part is the heater only. If the glass is cracked, stop using the cooktop and have it inspected, because a cracked ceramic surface is a safety risk and is replaced as a separate part.
