Hotpoint Oven DHS53CXS Grill not working
Hello, I have a weird problem with my grill in that it doesn’t work. When the knob it turned, the fans click on, but the element doesn’t heat up and the light doesn’t come on inside the grill itself and the light doesn’t come on by the grill temp selector knob. The top oven itself works perfectly as it should and the element heats up/both the inside and outside lights work. Any ideas?!! Many Thanks.

I will try and help with your Hotpoint Oven DHS53CXS problem
1st you may have a problem with the selector switch you can see about these in the videos below. Your timer C00372767 has two relays mounted on it one is to control the main oven the other one is to control the top oven this also can become a problem also make sure its on manual. There is also a switch in the door worth looking at 413 in the diagram also check the thermostat 213 in the diagram

For your future reference, I’ve included some Common faults with these Hotpoint Oven DHS53CXS cookers 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 is, turn 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 Hotpoint Oven DHS53CXS 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 video on this also the cooling fan motor can cause same problems.
- The Hotpoint Oven DHS53CXS 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.

Hi.
Would you be able to tell me the terminal connections used for the grill indicator light please. I have a new light unit to replace the missing unit, however I can not locate a wiring diagram showing me the terminals used for this light.
your help is much appreciated.

Andy
Hi,
Hotpoint Oven DD2540BL Built in Double Oven
Top oven grill blew after 2years; one side stopped working. Fitted new Hotpoint dual element to existing wiring (exactly as previously connected). Grill still does not work….on/off control light flickers slightly. Top oven works fine. Any thoughts?
Cheers
Chris
I have a uhs53xs built under double oven. The grill does not work but the grill element is ok ( I have metered it). The grill heats slightly when the top oven is switched on with the grill switched on. Also when turning on the grill switch ,the indicator light does not illuminate, but does slightly when the top oven is turned on.. Any Ideas
Ronnie
