Possible Causes
Open-circuit fan element, Burnt element terminals, Loose wiring to fan element, Tripped thermal cut-out
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power and allow the oven to cool fully before removing the rear panel inside the cavity.
- Access fan element: Remove the screws holding the rear cover inside the oven to expose the circular fan element.
- Visual check: Look for cracks, blisters, or burn marks on the element ring.
- Test continuity: Disconnect the element terminals and measure resistance with a multimeter. An open circuit indicates failure.
- Replace element: Fit a new Montpellier-compatible fan element, ensuring terminals are tight and insulation sleeves are in place.
