Logix LBfan12X

Hi my son is in a rental property with a Logix LBfanx cheap oven, i am an electrician based 300 miles away, the fan runs but no light or heat, How do i access the element on this oven and could the fault lie with the main selector switch. if i take both i may be able to fix the oven for christmas lunch! All help greatly appreciated, 🙂

Hi Gary,
With this oven turn it to fan oven and select a temperature, say 200C, does the neon light turn on on the front panel? That indicator light sits in a parallel circuit with the fan oven heating element, therefore if the neon gets supply, the element is getting a supply.
Indicator light off = selector fault
Indicator light on = element fault.

Other possibilities could be a burnt off tag or thermal overload stat, but this is a good starting point.

Let me know how you get on!

Oh and can I add that the fan is usually also in parallel with the element so it sounds likely to be the element at fault here!

Thanks for that info, will get a replacement element . Is the element accessible with the oven in place or do i need to remove the back?

Hi gary, no problem.

Little bit hit and miss, from inside the front remove the racks and look for 2-4 philips head screws and remove the fan/element cover. You may find that the element is then secured in place by some more philips head screws and can be carefully pulled through and replaced that way. If you see that the element is screwed in the other way you will have to take the oven out and remove the back cover, this will be a few more screws but no big deal for a spark 😉
