Possible Causes
Convection fan not running, Blocked air vents inside cavity, Warped or incorrectly positioned racks, Failing convection element
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the oven to cool before inspecting internal components.
Steps to improve heat distribution:
- Check convection fan operation: Run the oven in convection mode and verify that the fan runs. If not, test and replace the convection fan motor.
- Inspect air vents: Ensure that the air inlets and outlets around the convection fan cover are not blocked by foil or heavy grease. Clean thoroughly.
- Check rack placement: Use the recommended rack positions from the user manual. Avoid placing large trays directly against the back wall, which can disrupt airflow.
- Test convection element: If the fan runs but convection is weak, test the ring element and replace if open or weak.
- Test: After adjustments, bake a test item (e.g., a tray of biscuits) and check for even browning.
