ps – I still can’t see anything visibly wrong with the old element. Anyway, new element ordered. 🙂
Thaanks so much for your help, managed to get the fan out, fittted the the new element and it’s working perfectly again. 🙂
Four years later – Bottom main oven has just stopped working again. No fan and no heat. Same thing, or perhaps something else?
The clock is fine, I fiddled about with it and the timer isn’t set. There’s no fan or heat. The top oven/grill works fine.
When I switch the main (lower) oven on, I can hear a humming sound comming from inside, but as I said the fan and main oven itself appear to be dead.
That was my initial thought. Is it held in place by torx screws or similar? I’ll have a look tomorrow.
I have had to order a Torx driver as I can’t find the set I had. It does appear that the fan is stuck, I tried turning it through the grill, but it doesn’t seem to move freely. Would this cause the oven not to heat up?
if the fan has stuck it will heat but all the heat will rise
but with these oven the elements were always trouble so it possible the element has distorted and jammed the fan
as or the torx driver Aldi and Lidl often have sets

The fan appears to be rubbing against something behind it and doesn’t move too easily. What could have caused this to happen? So could the element and the fan be kaput? Might be time for a new oven I guess.
Right, after another look it seems the top screw behind the fan has worked its way loose, and it’s stopping the free movement of the fan.
But even if I re-tighten the top screw to enable the fan to spin, it seems the element may have died after fitting a new one just a few years ago?
