What's inside a Hotpoint cooktop
Hotpoint built-in cooktops are uncommon, since most Hotpoint cooking is freestanding. When one does turn up, it's usually a basic electric coil unit or a radiant smooth-top. Coil cooktops have simple faults: a coil element that has burned open, a receptacle scorched by a loose connection, or an infinite switch that no longer cycles. Radiant tops use elements under the glass with a limiter, and a zone that won't heat, or won't turn off, usually traces to the element or its switch. Many of these parts match GE equivalents, which makes them easy to get. The glass top is replaceable on some models, though its cost has to be weighed against a new cooktop.
Parts that tend to fail on Hotpoint cooktops
- Coil element burned out
- Receptacle scorched

Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
The infinite switch behind that knob has most likely failed closed. It's a separate part and a fairly quick repair.
Yes. Scorching usually comes from a loose connection at the element's terminals. We replace the receptacle and check the element, since a damaged element will burn up a new receptacle too.
