Possible Causes
Open convection heater element, Faulty convection fan thermostat, Burnt wiring to heater, Relay failure on control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug and allow the oven to cool completely.
- Access heater: Remove the rear interior panel (if user-serviceable) to expose the convection heater and fan assembly.
- Visual check: Look for breaks in the heater element or burnt spots on terminals.
- Continuity test: With a multimeter, test the heater element for continuity. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
- Inspect wiring and thermostat: Check the wiring from the heater to the thermostat and control board. Test the convection thermostat for continuity at room temperature if specified closed.
- Replace defective parts: Replace the convection heater element or thermostat with genuine Amica parts. Ensure all connections are tight and heat-resistant sleeves are intact.
