Possible Causes

Failed fan oven element, Partially open element causing low output, Faulty thermostat calibration, Temperature sensor drifted out of range

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains power before accessing elements.

  • Check fan oven element:
    • Remove the fan cover inside the cavity.
    • Inspect the circular fan element for cracks or burn marks.
    • Test resistance; an open circuit or very high resistance indicates failure.
    • Replace the fan element with a Hoover-compatible part if faulty.
  • Verify temperature:
    • Use an oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set temperature.
    • If the oven is consistently low by a large margin, the thermostat or sensor may be out of calibration.
  • Replace sensor/thermostat if needed:
    • Test the NTC sensor resistance curve if data is available.
    • Replace the sensor or mechanical thermostat if readings are out of specification.
