Hotpoint Grill Not Working? New Element Fitted – Ready for Cheese on Toast
I received a job today on a Hotpoint oven where the grill was only heating on one side. After diagnosis, the culprit was clear: a faulty grill element. Fortunately, I had a replacement in my van stock, fitted it on the spot, and the grill now works perfectly. The customer can enjoy perfectly grilled cheese on toast again.
Common Signs Your Grill Element Needs Replacing
A grill element typically lasts several years, but when it fails, you’ll notice obvious warning signs. Here’s what to look for:
- Grill only working on one side Uneven heating indicates a partial element failure.
- Uneven cooking or weak heat The element may be deteriorating gradually.
- No heat from the grill at all Complete element failure prevents any heating.
- Sparks or strange noises When switched on, these indicate internal damage or electrical issues.
- Visible damage or discoloration Look inside the grill compartment for burnt or damaged elements.
Why Grill Elements Fail
Grill elements experience constant thermal stress from repeated heating and cooling cycles. Additionally, mineral buildup from hard water, food debris, and normal wear and tear accelerate failure. Unlike oven elements that are typically enclosed, grill elements work harder and fail more frequently due to direct exposure to heat and moisture.
Professional Grill Element Replacement vs DIY
While some homeowners attempt DIY element replacement, professional installation ensures safety and reliability. Grill elements carry electrical current, and improper installation risks electrical hazards or fire. Our engineers have the expertise and proper tools to install elements correctly and safely.
Additionally, we can diagnose whether the issue is truly the element or another component like the thermostat or control board. This diagnostic service saves money by avoiding unnecessary part replacements.
