Possible Causes

Failed fan oven element, Failed grill/top element, Faulty oven thermostat or sensor, Defective relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the cooker from the mains before removing any panels. Elements can remain hot after use.

  • Test different functions: Try fan oven, conventional oven, and grill separately. If only one function fails, its specific element is likely faulty.
  • Visual inspection: Look at the fan element (usually at the rear of the cavity) for breaks, blisters, or burn marks. Check the grill element for sagging or visible damage.
  • Continuity test: With the rear panel removed and wires disconnected from the suspect element, measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
  • Check wiring and terminals: Ensure element terminals are tight and not burnt. Replace any overheated connectors with high-temperature spares.

When to call a technician: If multiple elements are not heating, the control board or thermostat may be faulty and should be diagnosed by a professional.
