Electric fan oven

goingon30_2

hiya!

came back from hols last week to find my electric fan oven isn't working anymore. The fan is still going but is blowing out cold air. Does anyone know what the problem might be, and is it worth getting repaired (approx 10 yrs old, i think: came with the house) or should I just buy a new one?

Ideally I would like to repair, if anyone could point me in the right direction, so I can target my google searches.

Many thanks,

most likely the heating element. get them on ebay for about 10/50 quid depending on the make/model.
simple enough to replace.

could also be the thermostat.

Take a look where it's blowing out cold-is there 3/4 screws holding the fan cover on?If so it's easy to change the heating element,just remove the screws & get a new element off ebay.(Switch off mains power 1st.!)

I diagnosed a faulty fan motor on an oven last week and found the replacement part on ransomspares.co.uk was a few quid cheaper than what I could find on Ebay. It arrived within 3 days and I fitted it the weekend.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, we are going to check the element tonight, and have already sourced one for about £25 online if that is indeed the problem.

Thanks again!
