Smeg fan oven dead

[Westy2k1]

MODEL NUMBER- SE335SS-5

Hoping somebody can help me I have recently bought a used oven it seems to be working as when you turn it on you hear some kind of fan but if you look in the oven at the back I can’t see the fan spinning.

None of the functions of the oven work it doesn’t get hot the grill doesn’t work and the orange neon light that indicates when the oven is at the correct temperature doesn’t work I’ve only had a flicker when turning in between functions.

The oven doesn’t trip my electrics and I have visually inspected the circular heat element however I didn’t take it out of the oven so I’m not sure if it’s broken or not but it doesn’t look deformed in anyway and I’m at a loss as to what is wrong with the oven. Heat element? Fan? I don’t want to throw money at her on spare parts in a process of elimination scenario.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Do you mean the knob on the left? It’s not a digital oven and the knob I referred to in thought was just a cook timer. When I turn it it just clicks then when it’s finished it goes ping

Thanks

Re: Smeg fan oven dead

There are two fans, a cooling fan and the oven fan that sits inside the fan element. The latter you should see turning or, it should be reasonably obvious it’s okay as it’d be blowing air.

I’d say that leaves you with probably the cooling fan spinning up, which you can’t see and not a lot else happening by the sound of it.

Please correct if I’m wrong.

If this is the case then there’s three things that would be standouts as possible areas of trouble which are:

The function selector switchburned out. NOTES

The safety thermostat is open circuit. NOTES

The main oven thermostat has failed and is open circuit. NOTES

Each link to each part is the one for that model. Each “NOTES” takes you to more info on each including how to test most of them or what to look for.
