No heat or grill in oven, fan is working

hairyslug

As above, our fan is working but nothing else in our oven, not even the light. Probably impossible to tell 100% but could it just be the element. The little light on the front of the oven flashes briefly when I'm turning the knob. Not sure if it makes a difference but it's a finlux, probably 10 years old.

I've same problem with ours just after appearing, the grill doesn't even heat which leads me to believe it may be the switch/electronic board that just the element.

Anyone know any good oven repair guy

Did the grill and oven fail at once ? There will be separate elements for both, so if they have both failed but the fan still works, the problem is most likely on the board unfortunately.

Grill and oven elements are typically handy to replace though. If you have a multi-meter, the integrity of them can be checked easily.

having a grill problem myself at the moment, currently sourcing replacement element. just on your issue I read in the manual last night (on our Zanussi oven\grill) that the oven and grill elements are controlled by a thermostat and (from memory) the troubleshooting guide said both elements not working but fan, indicator lights etc working could be thermostat.

Hope this helps

Turned out to be the actual switch connected to the circuit board
