Hotpoint DSC50s oven Base Element replacement

by / Friday, 26 May 2017 / Published in

HiI have the part required and a qualified electrician to replace it for free for me (I cant afford a shop repair) but he asked me to look into a user guide to find out what panel needs to be removed to replace it? can it be done from inside? or does he have to remove the rear panel? any advice would be brilliant, thank you

I will try and help with this problem on Hotpoint DSC50s oven

Good afternoon David​, You will need to remove the back panel and the element slides under the cavity, this sometimes can be tricky to get out but just look closely and you will see how the element comes out if the element is split they can be difficult, the element for this model is listed below.

For your future reference, I’ve included some Common faults with this Hotpoint DSC50s cooker to assist you in the future or anyone else reading this.

  • The oven will not turn on
    The first thing you need to check is that the oven timer is not on auto if it turns it on to manual.
  • No Heat in Oven
    If the fan is running and the thermostat light comes on but you get no heat (or just the thermostat light on in non-fan ovens and cookers) then the probability is that the fan element or oven elements have failed.
  • Electricity trips (Rcd) when I turn the oven on or grill
    This is normally an element that has gone to earth, This is a well-known fault with electric ovens, the insulation breaks down in the elements and trips the RCD, best way is to stick a meter on each element and check that they have not got earth leaks on them. But this can also be a wiring fault.
  • The grill element doesn't work
    This would usually indicate that the grill element is faulty. Check these: Grill element, Oven changeover switch, Overheat thermostat, Main oven thermostat if used to regulate the grill temperature.
  • The oven fan is not working or spinning correctly (slow) or is noisy
    The fan motor may need to be replaced see the video on this also the cooling fan motor can cause the same problems.
  • The oven overheats and burns everything
    Normally this is a simple thermostat failure which would manifest itself as this symptom.
  • The oven or cooker cuts out after it's been on for a while
    This is an overheating problem which can be caused by the fan motor or main oven thermostat or a faulty safety thermostat that will be causing the problem. It can also be caused by a failure of the cooling fan, where fitted, but usually, these go noisy before failing, Safety thermostats are used to prevent the oven or cooker overheating and will shut the oven down.
