Possible Causes
Failed convection fan motor, Seized fan bearings, Broken fan blade, Faulty selector switch contact for fan
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains power before accessing the fan.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check fan in different modes: Confirm that the fan does not run in any fan-assisted mode.
- 2. Inspect fan blade: Remove the rear inner panel and check the fan blade for damage or obstructions.
- 3. Test motor: From the rear, access the fan motor and measure resistance. Replace the motor if open-circuit or very stiff to turn.
- 4. Check selector switch (if fitted): On analogue models, verify that the selector switch sends power to the fan terminal in fan modes. Replace the switch if contacts are burnt.
Warning: Do not run the oven in fan mode with a non-functioning fan; cooking will be uneven and elements may overheat.
