Possible Causes
Weak or slow convection fan, Partially failed circular element, Blocked air channels behind rear panel, Misplaced oven shelves or trays blocking airflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool and disconnect power before removing internal panels.
- Check fan operation: In fan mode, observe whether the convection fan runs at full speed and without noise. Replace the fan motor if it is slow or noisy.
- Inspect circular element: Remove the rear interior panel and check the element for damage. Test resistance and replace if partially open or visibly burnt.
- Clean air channels: Remove grease and debris from the rear panel vents and around the fan housing to restore proper airflow.
- Use correct shelf positions: Follow the Sauter manual for recommended rack positions and avoid covering the entire shelf with large trays that block circulation.
