That low voltage rating is the detail to focus on. It isn't designed to be connected straight across a 240V supply, and belongs in an appliance circuit built for a 46V element. Before ordering, check that the wattage and voltage stamped on your old element match HC0104 exactly, along with its shape and fixings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns a heating element has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeating elements turn electrical current into heat, and once the internal wire breaks there's no heat at all. Common signs are an appliance that powers up but stays cold, a burnt or blistered spot on the element, or a circuit breaker or safety switch tripping when the heater comes on. A multimeter test for continuity, and for leakage to earth, confirms the fault. Matching the rating matters, because the wrong voltage or wattage will either underheat or burn out quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric part HC0104\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 320W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 46V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape, terminals and fixings not on file, compare with your old element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you fit it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisconnect the power supply before you open the appliance. Photograph the wiring and how the element sits, confirm the old element is marked 320W and 46V, and check the fixings match. Refit any insulation or heat shields you removed. Repairs to mains wired appliances should be done by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I run this element on 240V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot directly. It's rated at 46V, so connecting it straight across a 240V supply would overload it. Only fit it where the old element carries the same 320W and 46V rating, which tells you the appliance circuit is designed for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551253229646,"sku":"HC0104_G","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/hc0104-generic-heating-element-320w-46v","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
