How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.
- 1. Preheat check: Allow the convection mode to preheat fully and compare with an oven thermometer. If temperature is low, heating components may be weak.
- 2. Listen for fan: In convection mode, you should hear the fan. If silent, the convection fan motor may have failed.
- 3. Internal inspection (advanced): Check continuity of the convection heater and grill element, and verify the fan motor operates when powered.
- 4. Replace weak components: Fit new convection heater, grill element, or fan motor as required.
