Hi,

As per the title we have a Hygiene AE6bMS with both oven and grill not working but fan seemingly spins up when the cooker controls (function & thermostat) are operated. This model:-

Initially I thought the cooker element had gone but the fact the grill doesn't work scuppers that one. All electrics operate ok includin hob ignition + clock - any ideas anyone please?

thanks

Adam

My guess would be that the elements share the same neutral line which has over. heated somewhere along the way. Look for a burnt wire or connector somewhere.
 
It could be a high resistance connection at any point. Need not be on the neutral. Perhaps more likely around the control panel where the switches are.

The voltage is dropping under load.

Have you got a multimeter?
 
I do @JohnD have a multimeter and can use a soldiering iron but would say my knowledge is limited. isolate the power of course first...

I'm still guessing obviously, but I would have thought it was something both elements had in common rather than a control problem for neither of them to work but the fan to be ok. It is where I would look first anyway.
 
I was thinking the power supply will be brought to the panel of knobs, and it might be a connection on that cable at fault
 
Have a really close look at the oven function selector switch for melted contacts.
