ACV Heating element 54428183

The ACV Heating element 54428183 is an electric heating element designed for installation inside a water vessel, immersed directly in the water. It features two heating circuits, each with a power output of 1.4 kW, and operates in two heating stages, also each rated at 1.4 kW. The total power output is 2.8 kW. This heating element is compatible with ACV Compact 12, Compact 15, E-Tech S 14, E-Tech S 21, and E-Tech S 24 models.

When selecting a replacement heating element of this type, ensure the total power output, number of stages, supply voltage, immersion length, and fixing flange or thread type match the original. The control wiring must correspond to the contactor or relay arrangement in the appliance. Measure the immersion length and verify the mounting type before ordering. The element must be fully de-energised and the system drained before installation.

Heating elements of this kind can fail due to scale buildup, which may cause overheating and burnout. Symptoms include insufficient heating, tripping of the circuit breaker, or a visible break in the element. Check for continuity with a multimeter and inspect for signs of corrosion or damage.
