how to check a fan-oven heating-element problem
a fan-mode heating failure or safety-switch trip needs qualified electrical diagnosis. leave the oven off and record the selected function and what already happened; do not repeat the fault to test it.

scope: the fan blade and motor are separate. do not remove the rear cavity cover or repeatedly reset a tripping circuit. a failed element is a possible cause, not a diagnosis without electrical testing.
diy warning
working on appliances can involve mains electricity, water and moving parts. always disconnect power and water before you start. in Australia, gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter, and fixed (hard-wired) electrical work by a licensed electrician. everything on this site is guidance only, and any repair you carry out is at your own risk. we are not responsible for any damage or injury caused by attempting a repair. if you are not confident, please use a qualified technician.

steps
- leave the oven off
note the selected function and what happened without running the suspect oven again. let it cool. do not remove the rear cavity cover or reset a repeatedly tripping circuit.
- tell the repairer
read the full model and product number from the accessible label. tell a qualified appliance repairer which function failed and whether the safety switch tripped. stop using an oven that trips it.
- have the fault checked
ask the repairer to check the element, fan and controls. if the element has failed, they should confirm compatibility and the exact mounting and terminals before replacement. leave disconnecting the electrical supply and safety testing to them.
- check after repair
the repaired oven should heat in its intended fan mode without tripping. further trouble needs service.
