Possible Causes

Partially failed circular element, one of top/bottom elements open, convection fan not running at full speed, door seal leaking heat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

  • Test different modes: Compare preheat times in fan-assisted vs conventional modes. If one mode is much slower, suspect the associated element or fan.
  • Inspect door seal: Check the rubber gasket around the door for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if it does not seal evenly.
  • Check convection fan speed: Listen for the fan. If it sounds weak or slow, the motor may be failing. Replace the convection fan motor if necessary.
  • Measure element resistance: Even if not fully open, a damaged element may show hot spots or discoloration. Replace any suspect elements.

Tip: Use an oven thermometer to confirm actual temperature vs setpoint during diagnosis.
