The fan on the rear of the main oven started to work intermittently and has now completely stopped. Everything else, including the main heating elements (oven & grill) work fine.
I’ve taken off the fan motor and there appears to be nothing obvious at fault. The fan turns freely by hand.
I have also run a meter across the two terminals, turned the oven dial to the “ON” position but nothing shows. Could this be because it is a DC motor or should i still expect some reading?
Hi
Under no circumstances should you be live testing :nono:
Unplug appliance before attempting any measurements and/or repairs.
The motor is fed by an AC feed FYI.
Make sure the clock is set and also on the “Manual” hand symbol setting.
Usually you will hear a low hum in the cavity when turned to fan oven setting, indicating the motor is semi seizing or windings have gone weak.
