Oven Not Heating But Fan Running?

When the fan runs but the oven stays cold, the fan motor itself is working — so the fault lies elsewhere. This is one of the most common electric oven faults and usually points to a heating element, thermostat, or control issue.

Common likely causes

  • Failed heating element
  • Faulty thermostat
  • Selector switch fault
  • Timer or clock preventing heating
  • Wiring fault
  • Thermal cut-out triggered

What to do

Do not attempt to open the oven or test components yourself. A qualified engineer can safely diagnose the fault, confirm which part has failed and carry out the repair in one visit where possible.
