Montpellier Convection (Fan) Element Failure

Oven fan runs but there is no heat in fan-assisted modes; conventional top/bottom heat may still work.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open convection ring element, Burnt wiring to ring element, Faulty function selector contact for fan mode, Defective fan-mode relay on control board

Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains before removing the rear internal panel.

Steps to check:

Access ring element: Remove the screws holding the rear internal panel and expose the circular element around the fan.
Continuity test: Disconnect the element and test with a multimeter. Replace if open.
Wiring: Inspect the wires and connectors for heat damage or looseness. Repair or replace as needed.
Selector / relay: If the element is good, test the selector switch or control board output in fan mode for proper voltage.
