Possible Causes

Fan not running or running slowly, Blocked air circulation by large trays, One side of element failing, Incorrect shelf position

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before inspecting the fan and elements.

  • Check fan operation: Ensure the convection fan runs smoothly in fan-assisted modes. Replace the fan motor if it is slow or intermittent.
  • Inspect elements: Look for uneven glow or dark sections on elements; replace if partially failed.
  • Use correct shelf: Follow the user manual for recommended shelf positions and avoid blocking airflow with oversized trays.
  • Rotate food: For very large dishes, rotate halfway through cooking to compensate for minor unevenness.
