Possible Causes

Failed fan oven element, Loose or burnt fan element connectors, Open circuit in fan element wiring harness, Faulty fan element relay on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains power before removing panels.

  • Access fan element: Remove the oven's rear internal panel (inside the cavity) to expose the circular fan element around the convection fan.
  • Visual check: Look for breaks, bulges, or burn marks on the element ring. Any damage indicates failure.
  • Test resistance: From the rear of the oven, disconnect the fan element terminals and measure resistance. A typical reading is 20–40 Ω. An open circuit means the element is faulty.
  • Inspect wiring: Check for heat‑damaged insulation or loose spade connectors. Replace any damaged wiring with high‑temperature cable.
  • Replace fan element: Fit a new Salter fan oven element, ensuring it is correctly seated and all screws are tight. Refit the internal panel before use.

Warning: Do not operate the oven with the internal rear panel removed; this can expose live parts and cause overheating of internal components.
