Describe each function independently
Report which speeds operate, whether lighting changed and any noise already heard. Explain whether the fault is immediate or appears during normal use. Do not run a rattling or hot-smelling hood to gather more evidence, and do not reach into the fan or remove electrical covers.
Filters and ducting are design-specific
Tell us the extraction arrangement and any filter reminder. Follow only the model manual's accessible filter-care instructions, with the appliance safely stopped. A recirculating carbon filter and a grease filter serve different purposes; do not assume every filter is washable. Recent kitchen or duct changes are relevant to reduced extraction.
Height and cabinet access
Send the model reference from paperwork if its label is high or concealed. Describe integrated, chimney or other fitting and whether safe access is restricted. Do not climb onto a cooker or remove a hood to find the number. A replacement's dimensions and ventilation route need a separate assessment, not just the brand name.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the cooker hood safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.
Details to include with this request
- Model and hood fitting type.
- Fan speeds, light function and observed noise.

- Height/access restrictions and recent kitchen work.
Identify the exact Hotpoint model
Send the full model, serial and service information from accessible paperwork or a label. Use Hotpoint's current support and safety-notice routes for your exact appliance; do not move a fitted unit to find the plate. Hotpoint UK help and model-specific advice
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see Hotpoint UK appliance support.
If you are considering a replacement
Send the new model, mounting style and access height. Say whether the kitchen uses an outside duct or recirculation, and mention any cupboard, mounting or ducting changes you need.

Hotpoint cooker hood repair questions
Can I wash every hood filter?
No. Use the exact Hotpoint handbook for the fitted filter type. Do not apply grease-filter cleaning instructions to a carbon filter unless the manufacturer permits it.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type. Our office confirms the service address and applicable amount by phone before arranging your visit.

Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting.
