Welcome to BuySpares, this video will show how to change the hot plate on an electric cooker.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE REPLACING A PART IN ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS FIRST UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS
If your hot plate is not heating correctly or trips the fuse board it may have failed and require replacing.
Start by undoing the screws at the back. Next remove the control panel.
Many hobs have these multi connectors allowing you to disconnect them.
You can then move the top onto a flat surface to work on.
Take a photo to remind you how the colour coded wires fit into the cooker plate.
Then using a screwdriver undo the wires.
With the wires out of the way and removed, take off the fixing cover like so.
Then just lift up the corner of the hob, slide out the old cooking plate and replace with the new one.
Line it up in the same position then fit the cover.
Next reconnect using your reference photo not forgetting to put the earth wire back on the fixing bracket.
Finally replace the hob and refit the connectors. For all the spares you need visit the BuySpares website.
