I've just moved into a house which has an Electrolux EOB3400AOX built in fan oven. It takes a long time to heat up.
The thermostat light is on all the time so it's demanding heat.
The fan is running, sucking air in from the oven.
The element is heating up the back panel (which I've not taken off yet).
The ventilation fan is blowing cool air out of the top of the door.
I can't feel any heated air being blown around the oven, I also can't see the vents this should be coming from. Could they be blocked with grease or are there any other possibilities I've not thought of?
Thanks

I would replace the fan assembly as it sounds like the blades have moved on the shaft unless there is damage to the element fixings caused by ramming a cooking utensil into the oven that is too big of course.
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
1 . If yourELECTROLUXfan oven is getting
warm but takes a very long time to cook or is burning thefood more on
one side than the other, then you need to check if your ovenfan motorisworking you will see the blade turning fast if it is ok.
if the element isheating but thefan motoris notblowing the heat into the oven then you need To
replace the ovenfan motoris alittle more expensive and a bit more involved. 2 . If you have the opposite problem i.e. your ovenis
over heating and burning everything then you will need to replace yourELECTROLUXoventhermostat 3. A quite common and easily overlooked answer isif yourELECTROLUX
oven is not working at all i.e. noheat and no fan then the chances are
that someone has put the oventimerinto AUTOmode, simply put oven back to MANUAL mode and all
should be working again.
If youhave aELECTROLUX electric Cooker or Fan Ovenwhich is not heating it could be one of the following problems. 1, If thefan motorin theback of the oven is going round and the temperature light is on (normallylittle red light), but there is no heat then you will probably need a new ovenelement, these are generally very easy to fit and readily available from our websitethese can be tested with a electric meter. To gain access to theELECTROLUX elementyou willhave to remove the back plate from inside the oven. Once removed you will seethe fan andelement, if you look closely at theelementyou willprobably see a small hole burnt in it where it has blown. Sometimes howeverthere is no evidence of a fault but the elementis opencircuit i.e. broken inside the element casing, either way it will needreplacing. Some elements will are fixed from inside the oven and some are heldin place by nuts from the rear of the machine.

hi,
If the fan in the back of the oven is going round and the temperature light is on, but there is no heat then you will probably need a new oven element, these are generally very easy to fit and readily available on Ebay.
To gain access to the element you will have to remove the backplate from inside the oven. Once removed you will see the fan and element, if you look closely at the element you will probably see a small hole burnt in it where it has blown. Sometimes however there is no evidence of a fault but the element is open circuit ie: broken inside the element casing, either way it will need replacing. If your fan oven is getting warm but takes a very long time to cook anything, then you need to check if your oven fan is working. As the element is heating but the fan is not blowing the heat into the oven. To replace the oven fan motor is a little more expensive and a bit more involved.
You said, Your Electrolux built in wall oven, lights and digital display work fine,
fan works fine, but the oven will not heat regardless of the mode
(broil, bake, convention roast, convection bake)
First, 1.What is the Model Number and the year of your wall oven? 2.Did the oven light up and display with any error codes? 3. Did you try to turn the breaker off for 5 minutes to see if this will reset the system?
Perhaps the heating element is failing and may need to be replaced. I will be able to better assist you when you reply with this information. Waiting your response. Huuum
hiya
sounds like the fan element could have blown, causing the electrics to trip out. best thing to do is remove all the racking
and then the rear panel that covers the fan and element. if he element has blown most of the time it will be visible.
hope this helps
