How to Replace a Hotpoint Fan Oven Element?

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of replacing a faulty fan oven element in your built-in Hotpoint SI4854CIX oven. This guide is applicable to Hotpoint, Ariston, Indesit, Whirlpool, and several other brands. If your oven works on the grill and base element settings but not on the fan oven setting, the fan oven element might be at fault.

We would recommend you watch our video since we're showing how easily you fix your Hotpoint oven's fan oven element.

Diagnosing the Problem of Your Hotpoint Oven

To understand the issue, here’s a quick comparison between modern and older oven systems:

1. Modern Ovens with Circuit Boards:
   • Turn on the oven and select the fan oven setting (usually indicated by a fan blade icon within a circle).
   • Set the temperature and manual time.
   • The fan motor should start running, but the oven remains cold after a few minutes.
2. Older Ovens with Selector Switch and Thermostat:
   • Select the fan oven setting using the selector switch.
   • Turn on the thermostat, and the indicator light should turn on.
   • The fan runs, but the oven remains cold.

In both cases, the fan oven element is likely the issue. For older ovens, faulty selector switches or thermostats may also be the cause.

Before starting any repair work, you should make sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply. Also, we recommend you to remove the oven door for better access and to avoid any potential damage.

At this point, we suggest you watch our video closely since we show how you can fix the Hotpoint SI4 854 C IX fan oven element.

Removing the Oven Door

1. Bend the catches on the hinge system (may vary by model).
2. Lift the door until the hinges start tilting.
3. Hold the door firmly and lift it away from the oven.
4. Place the door in a safe, secure location.

Accessing the Fan Oven Element

1. Remove the oven shelf and any other interior components.
2. Locate the screws securing the fan oven element. These are typically at the top and may include location lugs at the bottom.
3. Unscrew the mounting screws. If the screw housings are corroded, you may need to replace them with larger screws.
4. Carefully pull the element towards you. The wires will be attached to the element.
5. Use a small pair of pliers to hold the terminal clips and remove the wires from the element.
6. Ensure the wires do not fall back through the hole, as this would require accessing the rear of the cooker.

Inspecting and Testing the Fan Element

1. Visually inspect the element for damage, such as cracks.
2. Use a multimeter to test the element for continuity:
   • Set the multimeter to continuity mode.
   • Test the old element. Lack of continuity indicates a blown element.
   • Test the new element to ensure it has perfect continuity.

Installing the New Hotpoint Oven Fan Element

1. Connect the wires to the new element.
2. Secure the element with the mounting screws.
3. Reassemble the oven by reversing the removal steps.

Replacing a faulty fan oven element is a straightforward process that can save you time and money. With this guide, you should be able to diagnose and replace the element efficiently. Remember, you can watch our video to avoid any potential problems.
