Hi
The fan is this oven dosn't always work! Sometimes if you give it a gentle nudge it will start to spin other times it just wont spin at all & some times it works perfectly!
any ideas on how to sort this?
Re: Hi
The fan is this oven dosn't always work!...
You need to change the fan motor. These motors are not very powerful and wear in the bearing can cause this effect. oiling the bearings is only a tempory fix and you will eventually end up changing the motor.

I'm guessing your problem is the fan in the oven. To fix: 1. with oven cold, remove back wall fan cover in oven. 2. remove fan. 3. clean and lubricate. 4. install fan. 5. install fan cover making sure fan is not touching. If cover does touch fan, gently bend cover away from fan and install.
Hi steve sounds like your fan motor is faulty they are not very powerful any resistance in the bearings can stop it starting. oiling the bearings wont help you need to replace the motor also it will have damaged the element no air circulating it will of overheated. an overheated element usually lasts till xmas morning.
If this is a fan over then check to see if the fan is spinning. If it is not spinning then the fan bearing has got tight. This is easily fixed by using a thin piece of wood, like a chop stick to give it a flick and get it moving.
Works a treat every time it happens to me.
If it's not a fan oven then you probably need to get the elements checked out.
If it is a fan assisted electric ovenn, and the fan is working o/k, then you need to replace the oven element, usually located at rear of oven compartment.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
Equipment is Whirlpool double oven RBD305PDS14 built-in. After a very stormy summer 2007, I thought a power surge may have zapped the control board. Problem initially presented on display as error & fault "E6 F2"; simply pressing "Timer Off" would usually clear this error & fault code.
However, some months later, the display would often go completely blank followed by the beep sequence "short-long-short-short-short" (Morse code: dit dah dit dit dit). No error & fault code would appear. Pressing any keypad oven control did not work at all in this condition. When power was cycled at the breaker panel, the usual "PF" with clock display did not appear.
[TURN OVEN POWER OFF AT BREAKER!!!]
After following the excellent information on "how to remove the control panel" posted in this forum, I first tested the "control panel thermal fuse" (refer to the tech sheet that should be behind the control panel once it is removed). It showed a closed circuit.
I turned my attention to the "flexible" keypad connector cable (error & fault code "E6 F2" is a keypad or keypad connector problem; again, refer to tech sheet). The control panel has a board mounted female connector with two tabs that may be gently pulled upward to release the flexible cable.
I cleaned the flexible cable contact area (it seats into the board mounted female connector) carefully with a Q tip and some isopropyl alcohol. I reinserted the flexible cable and gently pressed down on the two tabs (noted above) on the board mounted female connector. VERY GENTLY tug on the flexible cable to insure it is gripped by the connector.
After all of this monkey business, I re-mounted the control panel display panel on the oven and restored power. So far, so good. After applying power, the "PF" with clock display always appears. I am able to set the clock and press "Start". Over functions normally. The clock displays as normal and I no longer observe the problem I described above.
BTW, I noted the incoming 240V has transient suppression (no surge protection, however
Fitting new bulb would not cause fan to stop working.
If it is getting hot, then there is something wrong with fan, try spinning fan by hand, it should be free, and continue to spin under it's own momentum.
Hope this helps.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
