Possible Causes

Open convection heating element (if separate), Faulty fan-assisted relay, Wiring fault to convection element, Misconfigured mode selection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing rear panels.

  • Confirm mode: Ensure a convection or fan-assisted mode is selected, not a cool-down or fan-only mode.
  • Test convection element: Access the rear of the oven and locate the ring element around the convection fan. Measure resistance; replace if open.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the control board to the convection element for burns or loose connectors.
  • Control relay: If the element is good but never energizes, the convection relay on the main board may be faulty and require board replacement.
