Possible Causes

Burnt-out fan (ring) element, Loose or burnt wiring to fan element, Faulty function selector not energising fan element, Failed relay on PCB for fan element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power before working on the oven.

  • Inspect fan element: Remove the fan cover inside the oven to expose the circular fan element. Look for cracks or burn marks.
  • Test continuity: Access the element terminals from the rear and measure resistance. Replace the element if open-circuit.
  • Check wiring: Tighten any loose connectors and replace any burnt wires.
  • Selector / relay check: If the element tests good, the function selector switch or PCB relay may be faulty and require replacement.
