Possible Causes

Burnt-out circular fan element, Loose spade connector on fan element, Heat-damaged wiring to fan element, Faulty fan element relay on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains power and allow it to cool completely.

  • Access the fan element: Remove the oven shelves and rear internal panel to expose the circular fan element around the fan.
  • Visual check: Look for breaks, bulges, or hot spots on the element ring. Any visible damage means the element must be replaced.
  • Test continuity: Disconnect the element terminals and measure resistance. An open reading indicates failure. Replace with a genuine or compatible Caple fan oven element of the same rating.
  • Check connectors: Ensure the spade terminals are tight and not heat-damaged. Replace any discoloured or loose connectors and trim back burnt wire before fitting new terminals.
  • Reassemble and test: Refit the rear panel, restore power, and test fan oven mode. Monitor for correct heating and ensure the fan runs smoothly.
