Salter Convection Heater or Fan Failure

Microwave convection function (on combi models) does not heat, but microwave mode works.

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 circuit

Safety: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.

Steps:

1. Test modes: Confirm that standard microwave mode heats correctly, and only convection/bake modes fail.
2. Listen for fan: In convection preheat, you should hear the convection fan. If silent, the fan motor may be faulty.
3. Technician diagnosis: A technician should test the convection heater element, fan motor, and thermostat for continuity and replace any open components.
