Hotpoint Grill Element

The electric heating element in the grill compartment that browns food from above.

Signs it has failed

• The grill does not heat or heats in patches
• Visible breaks or blistering on the element
• A burning or electrical smell
• The oven works but the grill does not

Check before you buy

• Look at the element when cold for gaps or blistering
• Test with a multimeter for continuity
• Check the grill switch or selector too

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your grill and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Isolate the cooker at the spur or breaker and let it cool
2. Remove the grill pan, grid and any rear cover
3. Unscrew the element and gently pull it forward
4. Photograph and disconnect the terminals, then connect the new element
5. Refit and test

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Elements vary by wattage, shape and terminal type. Match the part number or your model number.

Part numbers listed for Hotpoint grill element

These are manufacturer part numbers that a UK spares retailer lists as Hotpoint grill element parts (checked 2026-10-29). Fit is per model: a number here is a lead to check against your own rating plate, not a promise it fits your machine. Searching the exact number is the most reliable way to find the right part. The retailer lists 36 Hotpoint numbers for this part type; 10 are shown, because most fit only specific models. Search with your model number to narrow it down.

Some numbers are used across Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda and other Whirlpool-group brands. Numbers starting C00 are the Hotpoint/Indesit manufacturer reference format. If your old part has a number printed on it, match that first.
