Grundig Convection Heater / Fan Circuit Failure

Convection (hot air) function does not heat, but microwave and grill work.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open convection heating element, Failed convection fan motor, Faulty convection thermostat, Loose wiring to convection assembly

Safety first: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool fully.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Check fan operation: Start a convection cycle and listen for the fan. If silent, suspect the fan motor or its wiring.
2. Test element: Access the rear of the cavity and test the convection element for continuity. Replace if open.
3. Inspect thermostat: Test the convection thermostat or thermal cut-out for continuity.

Because convection systems run at high temperatures, ensure all replacements are Grundig-specified parts.
