Hotpoint Oven Shelf
The shelf or wire rack that supports trays and dishes in the oven.
Signs it has failed
- A warped, rusted or broken shelf
- A shelf that will not slide in smoothly
- A shelf that tilts
- Missing shelf stops
Check before you buy
- Measure the width and depth of the old shelf
- Check for a stop or lip at the back
- Check the side runners are not bent
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
- Let the oven cool
- Slide the old shelf out
- Slide in the new shelf, with the stop at the back
- Check it sits level
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
Shelves differ in size and shape. Match the part number, your model number and the measurements of the old shelf.
