Hotpoint Oven and Grill Selector Switch
The switch that selects oven and grill functions on the control panel.
Signs it has failed
- Oven or grill functions do not work or work intermittently
- A knob that is loose or has lost its click
- A burning smell or clicking at the control panel
- Some positions working while others do not
Check before you buy
- Check the knob is firmly on the shaft
- Check that the oven element and grill element are working
- Test the switch for continuity in each position
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
- Isolate the cooker at the spur or breaker
- Remove the control panel as the manual describes
- Photograph the wiring carefully and disconnect the old switch
- Fit the new switch and reconnect each wire as it was
- Refit the panel and test every function
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
Switches vary by terminal layout and function. This is mains wiring: if you are not confident, use a qualified electrician or appliance engineer.
