Re: Hotpoint BD31 double oven/grill – how to replace simmers

Slight delay on fixing this – due to becoming a grandfather.

Anyway, it was a faulty Simmertstat/energy regulator, now replaced and problem solved, the grill works fine now.

It was fairly straightforward when you know how to get at it – the help on this board was really useful.

Thanks again for interest & advice.

Re: Hotpoint BD31 double oven/grill – how to replace simmers

Thanks for response.

The problem is that both grill elements in the top oven are not heating when used as grill (whether on half or full setting) – yet the 2 elements both heat up when the top oven is used as an oven. So it does not appear to be an element fault.

Suspect problem with grill control/regulator (1-6 dial) or main selector control (used to select oven use, temperature, or grill full/half use)

An electrician friend is helping me and intends to use a multimeter to test grill regulator first.

Re: Hotpoint double oven (BD31) grill not working

Thanks for response.

Just to clarify. There are 2 control knobs/dials affecting the top oven/grill – and a separate one for the main oven.

There’s an “oven/grill selector” knob and this selects:-
– top oven temperature, or
– plate warming facility, or
– grill (with option for full or half-grill)

A separate control (labelled “grill” & with numbers 1-6 on dial) just controls the grill heat (whether on full or half-grill setting).

Everything else on the oven/grill selector knob works fine. From what you said, does this sound more like a problem with the grill temperature control, rather than the selector ? Thanks .. Malcolm

Thanks, that’s really useful. I’ll check these out. I’m pretty sure it’s not the water level but will double-check. Cheers MW
