Cooker Solid hotplate element

DaveyD · 25 Nov 2019

Hi,

I need a replacement solid hotplate element.

My question is, Are all the elements from all cooker manufacturers roughly the same?
ie can I just pick any 180mm element and it will fit?

I imagine it would be a standard part, its only got to fit into a hole in the hob. But I don't want to buy one unless I know theres a chance it would fit.

Thanks for any help/advice
Dave

Why can you not look for one specific to your cooker? If you are having trouble finding one then post the make & model of it.

If I buy an element specific to my cooker it will cost over £40, its an old cooker so not worth the expense. But there are others out there the same spec and cheaper. The element sits on the hob and is held in by one washer and nut, the same as all the others. So my guess is any element the same diameter and wattage will work.
I'm looking into buying a cheap one and trying it. I will post back if its a success!!

Just go for the cheapest same size and wattage. Some of the chrome rims are 4mm and some 8mm but will still fit.

Did what you said, went for the cheapest, same size and wattage.
My oven has spade terminals. The universal element has screw terminals. I cut off the spades and screwed the wires into the terminals.

its works perfectly and saved loads off money.
