I have a Smeg oven (Spa 42016) which is not working and I don't have a manual for it. The hob is fine and the grill works, but any function which involves the fan i.e. fan oven, fan grill, does not work. I understand the fan sits at the back of the oven next to the oven element (similar to a NEFF oven I recently changed an oven element on) and when a fan function is selected the fan does not turn. It moves slightly from side to side for a moment, as though it wants to start, but doesn't. The lights come on on the front panel next to the temperature dial. Can anyone help?

Hi Michael, the oven element does heat up enough to glow, but doesn't seem to get to a very high temperature

It sounds as if you have an element gone open circuit on the fan. This element is 3 wound and is easy to replace.
