If you've discovered that your Hotpoint oven fan no longer turns and your cavity isn't heating evenly, you probably have a faulty motor and it's time to get a replacement!

Luckily we have this helpful guide and a wide variety of Hotpoint spares to get your oven up and working again in no time.

Signs of a Faulty Fan Motor

The fan-assisted oven is a wonderful invention. The fan distributes heat evenly throughout the entire oven cavity, meaning that every part of your food will be cooked at the same temperature - no cool spots like you sometimes get in standard ovens.

When your fan motor stops working, it is important to find a replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise your fan oven element may start to overheat and eventually break. 

Common Causes

If you notice any of the following, you may have a faulty fan motor:

• The fan blade is moving slowly, or not at all.
• The oven fan is noisy.
• The indicator light is on and the element is hot, but the heat is uneven.

Please note: we always recommend that you find a qualified electrical engineer to take a look at your appliance to diagnose the problem and carry out the repair.

How to Find the Replacement

In order to find the correct replacement motor for your Hotpoint single or double fan oven, you'll need the model and serial number on your appliance. This will be found on the data badge on the cooker or oven, usually around the door frame.

When you have these details either enter these details using the search bar above, call our team on 02920 452 510, or email us on enquiries@cookerspareparts.com with your model and serial number details.

How to Replace Your Hotpoint Oven Fan Motor

Once you've found the correct replacement fan motor and it's arrived, you're now ready to start the repair on your oven.

You'll Need

• Replacement fan oven motor.
• Screwdriver set.
• Owner's manual (optional).

1. Unplug your cooker and move it away from the wall so that you can access the rear of the appliance.
   
   
2. Unscrew the cooker's back panel and take it off to expose the fan motor.
   
   
3. Take out your oven shelves and remove the oven door (this will make it easier for you to access the interior of the oven).
   
   
4. Inside the oven, unscrew and remove the fan guard (i.e. the panel at the back of the oven).
   
   
5. Now, remove the fan blade by turning the screw at the centre of the blade clockwise (not anti-clockwise as you would normally expect!).
   
   
6. Once the fan blade is off, unscrew the motor. Most motors have 3 screws, loosened from inside the oven, although this may vary.
   
   
7. Return to the rear of the cooker and take a photo of the motor so that you don't forget how the wires are connected to it. Then, disconnect all wires from the motor and remove it from the appliance.

Congratulations! You have removed your broken fan oven motor! Now follow this process in reverse to install the new one and get your oven working properly once more.

In most cases, if your fan oven is not heating up the problem will turn out to be that your fan oven element is faulty. However, instead of replacing the entire cooker, you can easily replace the oven element and save yourself a bit of money - which is always a good thing!

Unless you're a big fan of salad and breakfast cereal, you probably rely quite heavily on your cooker when preparing meals at home. So, if you start to notice that your fan oven is struggling to heat up (or not heating up at all), it's important to get this issue sorted.

How to tell if your oven element has failed

It can often be hard to tell whether or not there is a problem with your oven element. Your fan oven may appear to be working normally - that is, the fan may be functioning and the light inside the oven may be on - and yet, when you remove your food from the oven, you notice that your food hasn't cooked properly. Perhaps it's because the oven didn't quite reach the temperature you asked for, or perhaps it simply failed to heat up whatsoever.

Sometimes, you'll be able to know that there is a fault with your element just by looking at it. Any burns or bulging of the element will be enough to confirm that you need to fit a new element. However, sometimes you'll need to replace it even if these visible symptoms are absent.
