Re: Diplomat Ceramic Hob… element or switch?
Diplomat Ceramic Hob APL 1313 switch replacement continued:
I swapped over one of the existing switches to make sure the hob element is working okay and to confirm it’s the “Cooker Hob Control Switch” that’s faulty and not the element. I concluded the switch is faulty and all elements are in working order. I have now ordered a new cooker hob control switch from https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk.

model number normally on bottom of hob some hobs have 2 types of regulators. one ending in 550 was a fairly common one, model number should be on any paper work u might still have.Karv, thanks, I couldn’t find the model number of my Diplomat Ceramic Hob yesterday but you jogged my mind and I found I still had the booklet that came with the hob. So, the model number is APL 1313 (Mocca). Good job you mentioned model numbers because the switch is different to what I looked up not using the model number. The bad news is it costs about £12 more. The correct part on ukwhitegoods.co.uk is “76X3605 – Hygena, Diplomat & Schrieber Cooker Hob Control Switch” Price: £30.66. The switch I may need is for one of the two 1200w cooking zones but I think it’s the same for the 1700w zones as well. I may have to swap over the switches as you suggest to be certain it’s the switch that is faulty. I always isolate then label connections and make drawings before removing components.

Yes, thanks Smartin, I agree wholeheartedly with your safety advice. I should have tested the energy regulator switch using a multimeter after first isolating the hob.
