EW36EC55GS
Electrolux EW36EC55GS Electric Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Touch pad that responds slowly or not at all
- Element that does not heat
- Cooktop that beeps or locks out
- Surface light that stays on
The EW36EC55GS is a 36-inch electric touch-control cooktop that drops into the countertop. Three finishes are listed as EW36EC55GB, EW36EC55GS and EW36EC55GW, and the GS finish has appeared as GS1 and GS2 revisions. Electrolux has discontinued it, and it is a familiar sight in older kitchens.
With touch controls across a wide surface, we first test the panel and see which pad does not answer. Then we check that the element it controls receives power and that the element itself heats. Moisture on the control area is a common reason for beeping and lockouts, and drying it often tells us whether the panel is sound.
Panel parts can differ between the revisions, so the number and serial on the label come first. You see the cost in writing before we order, and we give an honest opinion on whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Repairs are covered for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my touch cooktop lock out?
Moisture on the control area, a lock setting or a worn panel can make the EW36EC55GS beep or lock out. We dry the glass, check the setting and test the panel before suggesting a part.
What are GS1 and GS2?
They are revisions of the GS finish of this cooktop. Panels and other parts may not be identical, so we read the label and match any part to your build.
Can I still get parts for this 36-inch cooktop?
Elements and switches are often easier to find than control panels. We check your build before quoting, and tell you about cost and wait before you decide.
