Possible Causes
Open-circuit convection heating element, burnt element terminals, broken wiring to fan element, failed relay controlling fan element
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the oven to cool.
- Access fan element: Remove the rear panel inside the oven cavity to expose the circular convection element around the fan.
- Check continuity: Disconnect the element leads and measure resistance. An infinite reading indicates a failed element.
- Inspect terminals: Look for heat damage or loose spade connectors at the element terminals; clean and tighten as needed.
- Wiring and relay: If the element is good, trace wiring back to the control board and test the corresponding relay for operation.
- Replace element: Install a new convection (fan) heating element if the original is open or physically damaged.
Note: Ensure the fan blades are clean and rotate freely to distribute heat evenly after repair.
