Westinghouse Ceramic Cooktop Large Element Not Working – Mudgeeraba

Westinghouse Ceramic Cooktop Large Element Not Working – Mudgeeraba

A customer in Mudgeeraba contacted ISB Electrical because the large element on their Westinghouse ceramic cooktop was not working. The other cooktop functions were operating, but the large cooking zone would not heat correctly.

When one ceramic cooktop element stops working, the fault can be caused by a failed element, faulty simmerstat controller, burnt wiring connection, damaged terminal, control switch fault or power supply problem to that cooking zone. In this case, the large element control circuit was inspected and tested.

Inspection and Diagnosis

• Checked the cooktop power supply and safety condition
• Confirmed the large ceramic element was not heating
• Checked the control knob and heat regulation response
• Tested the large element circuit
• Inspected the simmerstat controller operation
• Checked wiring and terminals connected to the large element
• Confirmed the simmerstat was not controlling the element correctly
• Tested the cooktop after replacing the faulty controller

Fault Found

The fault was caused by a faulty simmerstat controller. The simmerstat was not supplying and regulating power correctly to the large ceramic cooktop element.

A simmerstat controls how much power is supplied to the cooktop element. When it fails, the element may not heat, may only heat intermittently, may stay on too long or may not regulate temperature correctly.

Repair Completed

The faulty simmerstat controller was replaced. After replacement, the large ceramic element was tested to confirm it switched on, heated correctly and responded properly to the control setting.

The cooktop was also checked for safe operation after the repair, including control response and visible wiring condition.

Common Causes of Ceramic Cooktop Element Not Working

• Faulty simmerstat controller
• Failed ceramic heating element
• Burnt or loose wiring terminal
• Damaged element connection
• Faulty control knob or control switch
• Overheated wiring connection
