how can i fix my fan oven?

I have a electrolux EOB944 fan assisted oven the element is working fine(heating up no problem) it is the fan that is not working

My fan oven fan got a bit reluctant to spin six months ago so I dismantled the cooker from the back to get the fan out (quite a job on my cooker). I took the fan apart and cleaned all the bits and then lubed it sparingly with a few drops of clean oil. After rebuilding it it ran noticeably easier and is still going ok. having said that I expect I will have to do it all again in another six months time - but hey it keeps me out of mischief!

there is no real fix for a fan that doesn't rotate other than replacing it.there is an outside very slim chance if you oil it and free it off it might work but you tend to find they fail again soon after.stop using the cooker without the fan running as it overheats the element and can cause them to blow (more cost!).
