New oven fan not turning!

in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving

Just purchased a new Indesit oven and the fan at the back is not turning.
I'm guessing when I set the function to the fan and set the temperature that the fan should be turning?
It's only just been delivered this morning and is supposed be a plug in and go oven lol
I'm trying to get in touch with AO and Indesit but not having much look so just wondered if anyone had had a similar issue?

Thanks for any help/info 👍

    Does it heat up even though the fans not running?

    Yes it's warming up but the fan just doesn't move at all 🤷‍♀️

    It should come on when the oven reaches its programmed heat setting?

    I thought, as with our old oven, the fan comes on straight away? 
    I will try and see what happens though, thank you.

    The fan should come on straight away. You could always give it a nudge.

    That's what I thought. When I turn it to the grill function there's a fan like noise but it's not the fan at the back.
    As soon as I turn it to the fan oven function there's no noise at all 🤦‍♀️
    Not sure I'm brave enough to stick anything through to give it a nudge lol

    Is it digital? I just installed a new oven and there was a setting for fan oven on or off.

    No just normal dials. Checked that I've put it on right so just seems to be an issue with the actual fan
