Hotpoint Electric Hob Ring
The electric heating ring or coil that heats a pan on an electric hob or range.
Signs it has failed
- A ring that does not heat or only heats in places
- Visible breaks, blistering or bright hot spots
- A burning smell or tripping electrics
- A ring that sags or no longer sits flat
Check before you buy
- On a plug-in coil, swap with a working ring of the same size to test
- Look for pitting or burn marks on the element or the socket
- Test with a multimeter for continuity
What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your hob 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 hob and let it cool
- On a plug-in coil, lift the element slightly and pull it straight out of the socket
- Push the new coil firmly into the socket and lower it flat
- On a fixed or ceramic hob, a qualified electrician or engineer should do the replacement
Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.
