What you will find in this collection
All essential spare parts for the cooktop: burners of various sizes (standard, triple crown, wok), adjustable gas valves, safety thermocouples (different lanes, standard and universal lengths), electric plates / induction or ceramic glass cooking zones, protective glass, knobs, grates, cables, buttons, transformers, and accessory electrical components.
How to determine which spare part you need
-
Brand, model, and product code (often referred to as PNC, E-NR, code printed on the body of the cooktop).
-
Type of power supply: gas, electric / plate, induction: each type has specific components.
-
Physical measurements of the spare part: burner, glass, plates must match in diameter, connection, thread pitch, etc.
-
Safety: thermocouple, gas valve, gas safety device must be compatible and certified.
Useful maintenance
- Regularly clean the burners and grates to avoid clogs that alter the flame and consume more gas.
- Check the condition of the glass / ceramic glass: deep scratches or cracks compromise safety and functionality.
- Replace the knobs if they are loose or if the adjustment mark is no longer readable;
- Periodically check the thermocouples and gas fittings: leaks, oxidation, or wear compromise safety.
Common problems and how to solve them
-
Irregular or yellow flame: dirty burner, unbalanced air, gas valve or nozzle partially clogged.
-
Burner does not ignite or goes out immediately: faulty thermocouple or ignition knob/button with weak contact.
-
Electric zone / plate does not heat: faulty resistor or unpowered electrical circuit.
-
Ceramic glass cracked or damaged: replace it immediately to avoid hazards.
-
Odors or fumes during cooking: burnt residues in the burner or dirty glass.
Quick FAQs
When to replace the thermocouple?
When the burner ignites with difficulty or goes out on its own, or if the flame does not remain stabilized: this indicates that the thermocouple is no longer raising its voltage.
How to tell if the ceramic glass needs to be replaced?
If it is cracked, chipped, or the surface is severely scratched: it is better to change it; even fragments or chips are dangerous.
Worn knobs: is it worth replacing them?
Yes, if they no longer regulate the flame properly or if they are damaged, they can compromise safety and comfort.
Electric plate smells or smokes
It could be residues on the resistor, caked grease, or faulty contact. Thorough cleaning and checking electrical components are necessary.
