Hotpoint Oven Element

The electric heating element at the base or around the fan that heats the oven.

Signs it has failed

• The oven does not heat or heats unevenly
• Visible blistering, breaks or a part of the element not glowing
• Long cooking times
• A burnt smell or tripping electrics

Check before you buy

• Look at the element when it is cold for blisters or cracks
• Test with a multimeter for continuity
• Check the thermostat and fan too

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 at the fused spur or the breaker and wait for it to cool
2. Remove shelves and any rear panel or cover
3. Undo the screws holding the element and pull it forward gently
4. Photograph and disconnect the terminals
5. Connect the new element, refit it 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 terminals. Match the part number or your model number, and use only the rating specified.

Part numbers listed for Hotpoint oven element

These are manufacturer part numbers that a UK spares retailer lists as Hotpoint oven 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 15 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.
