Possible Causes
Open convection (ring) heating element, burned wiring to ring element, faulty fan-heat relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the oven to cool.
- Access ring element: Remove the rear panel inside the oven cavity to expose the circular convection element around the fan.
- Visual inspection: Look for breaks, blisters, or burn marks on the ring element. Any visible damage means the element must be replaced.
- Test continuity: Disconnect the element terminals and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
- Check wiring and connectors: Inspect the wires and spade terminals for heat damage. Replace any burned connectors and ensure tight fit.
- Control relay check: If the element tests good, inspect the control board relay that switches the convection element. Replace the board if the relay is faulty.
- Reassemble and test: Fit a new Essentials convection element if required, restore power, and test fan-assisted mode to confirm heating and that E17 is cleared.
