Seems to be taking a long time to cook

Hi we have just been given a whirlpool electric fan oven but have not got the instructions. we cooked something in the oven which to me knowledge usally takes about 20-25 but when cooking in this oven they took about 45minutes. i believe this cooker is probably about 8-9 years old. not sure how to pre-heat the oven do you just put it on the fan symbol for about 10 minutes at the temperature you want to cook at or is there a knack to it

thank you

To preheat oven just select the temp you intend to cook at and wait until the red light goes out,it is then preheated
Then you can put your food in and carrying on cooking.
Yes you do put it on fan symbol, but make sure it is on the right one , as some ovens have fan only as well as fan and heat.
Plz rate this solution.
thanks.

Today when I turned on my GE Profile electric wall oven, the fan started running. Why is it doing this? Will it take llonger for the oven to heat up if the fan is running?

actually it takes less time to heat up and cook with the fan running
That is why it is called a fan forced oven as the fan forces the hot air all around the oven , heating it quicker and giving a better cooking result by moving hot air all around what is being cooked

Is the fan on my oven broken or just needs cleaned?

It is most likely coated in grease, remove it and clean it first.

Whirlpool gas oven is taking three times as long to cook something,what is wrong?

have you checked with an oven type thermometer for 350 degrees against the setting of 350 degrees,if its off very far then its the oven temp sensor in the upper left middle or right rear wall of the oven thats bad it looks like a small pencil type rod 2" to*' long it merely unplugs off the oven s control panel in the rear,you can test its resistance also to get an idea if it is your culprit,otherwise the oven element could have a hot spot in it and not letting all the current thru to properly heat the element,it will be dis-colored in that area

Hi got a NEFF B1691 oven. Thing is the oven light, element and fan keep switching off during cooking is this correct functionality - if not what could be wrong? The temperature display remains functioning...

There does seem to be a fault, as the fan should run continuously even when the element goes off at the required temperature setting, and the light should atay on as well.
It suggests to me that there is a fault with the oven thermostat, or it is wired incorrectly.

Can i slow cook in my oven, does it have aslow cook facility i have lost my manual, if it does please explain what to do. thanks

No, there is no slow cook. The bottom oven works as a normal fan assisted oven and the top oven relies on elements concealed in the floor. The top oven takes a long time to warm up.

Fan on during cooking

djpat, in looking at your schematic, it shows that the cooling fan will be on during bake and broil operations as well as cleaning. So this would be a normal operation. Catriver.
