Possible Causes
Open-circuit fan element, Burned connection at element terminals, Faulty relay controlling fan element
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect from mains before accessing the rear of the oven cavity.
- Access fan element: Remove the rear panel inside the oven to expose the circular convection element.
- Inspect visually: Look for breaks or bulges in the element ring.
- Test continuity: Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the element terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
- Check terminals: Ensure the spade connectors are tight and not burnt.
Repair: Replace the convection element if faulty. If the element is good but not powered, suspect the relay board.
