I've never had a convection oven before but I don't think my new oven one is working properly. I put a casserole in set for 400 degree for 30 minutes. It was barely warm. I change to regular bake, same temp and time and it cooked just fine. I noticed that when I cancelled the convection bake and started the regular bake it preheated from 300 degrees. I know that the over automatically reduces the temp by 25 degress in convection but it seems to me that it only got to 300 degrees ?? I'm pretty sure that the fan runs. Any ideas?
Your correct the only difference between a regular oven and a convection oven is that it has a fan.when you open the oven door the fan should be spinning to a stop if this is not the case you may have a problem with the fan.
the start switch is bad in the motor.how old is your oven?another thing to check is make sure the fan blade isnt just spinning on the motor shaft{there may be a set screw that holds the blade to the shaft so its not loose}.if thats not the case you need a motor.
from everything you told me i still belive the motor is bad.is the oven under warranty?if you definitely seen the blades 'stutter' and pushed the blades and they started working but not as fast.MOTOR MOTOR
if you rarely use the convection mode the motor still gets hot from the heat of the oven regardless what mode your in.and prematurely motor failure.
its the motor.they can be defective straight from the factory.i couldnt count how many times this has happened to me in my line of work.again you should have a warranty since you only used it 4 times.

I watched the fan thru the glass door and it appeared to "stutter". Like it was trying to work. I opened the door and gave the fan blades a bit of "help" by spinning it.
It nows spins steadily but it seems really slow to me. How can I now if it's spinning at the speed it's supposed to be or even close. Shouldn't it be spinning really fast?
I've used the oven twice in the traditional bake mode and tried to use the convection mode twice. As far as I'm concerned it is still brand new since the convection oven never baked anything.
Knowing this do you still think the start switch is bad?
Are you not reading my responses?
I told you that I've used the oven a total of 4 times. Period. Twice traditional mode then twice in convection mode.
the oven light keeps flashing on and off. I was baking something at 400 degrees and it started flashing. what does this mean?

.when you hit keypad it double dings but will not let you set temp or anything else
