Hotpoint Oven Bulb

The light inside the oven cavity so you can check on food.

Signs it has failed

• The oven light is out
• The light flickers
• The glass cover is cracked or dirty
• A previous bulb blew soon after fitting

Check before you buy

• Check the old bulb type and cap style (for example, a pin or screw base)
• Make sure the bulb is oven-rated for the temperature (usually 300 C)
• Check the glass cover for damage

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your oven 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 oven and let it cool
2. Twist the glass cover to remove it
3. Unscrew or pull the old bulb
4. Fit the new bulb with a clean cloth or gloves
5. Refit the cover 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

Use only an oven-rated bulb with the same cap and wattage as the old one. A household bulb will fail quickly.

Part numbers listed for Hotpoint oven bulb

These are manufacturer part numbers that a UK spares retailer lists as Hotpoint oven bulb 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 17 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.
