The 1200W 230V steatite heating element – DIFF for Chaffoteaux, reference 396144, is designed for electric water heaters. Its steatite technology protects the heating element inside a sheath, reducing limescale buildup and allowing easier replacement.
Why choose a steatite heating element?
Unlike immersed (armoured) elements, steatite heaters are not in direct contact with water, which improves durability and reduces scaling issues.
How do you know if the heating element is faulty?
Reduced hot water production, slow heating or no heating at all may indicate a failing element.

Features of product: THERMOCOUPLE- DIFF POUR CHAFFOTEAUX - 396144

Chaffoteaux boilers combine heat exchange, hydraulic circuits, and electronic regulation. During a repair, functional compatibility is crucial: an incorrect part can lead to regulation faults, safety lockouts, or reduced efficiency. Targeted maintenance, on the other hand, can extend the life of the device without a complete replacement.
DIFF° spare parts for Chaffoteaux cover the most commonly used components: hydraulics (valves, circulators), regulation (sensors, control boards), safety (pressure switches), and combustion-related elements depending on the models. The goal is to restore functionality in line with the original specifications.
Depending on the symptom, certain parts are prioritized:
Electronic Control Boards and Sensors: in case of regulation faults, error codes, or erratic behavior (irregular heating, unstable domestic hot water).
Valves and Hydraulic Components: in case of circulation issues, switching between heating/DHW, or unusual hydraulic noise.
Safety Elements: pressure switches, sensors, control devices, essential to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Two similar references may differ on key points (connectivity, calibration, board version, type of valve). Identify the exact reference of the boiler (nameplate) and, if possible, the reference of the original part before ordering.
Technical Advice: always check the model reference and version (series): it is often this detail that determines electronic and hydraulic compatibility.
