Hotpoint Hob Igniter
The spark electrode that lights the gas burners on a hob.
Signs it has failed
- The burner does not spark
- Continuous clicking after the burner has lit
- Sparking at the wrong place
- A burner that lights only after repeated tries
Check before you buy
- Clean the electrode with a dry brush and let wet parts dry fully
- Check the burner cap is seated correctly
- Constant ticking is often moisture or a misaligned cap, not a failed part
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
- Turn off the gas and isolate power if hard-wired
- Lift off the burner cap and crown
- Release the electrode and its connector
- Fit the new electrode and reconnect
- Refit the burner parts 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
Igniters vary by length, shape and connector. Gas appliances should be serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer if you are unsure.
