Fan on Westinhouse Silhouette oven has stopped working although the oven still heats. Is it worth getting the oven(fan) serviced or is it better just to buy another oven?
Also, is it easy to find an oven of the same size or does it usually mean kitchen redesign?
The Electrolux service person did a very good job and the oven is now working again. It was worth going through the process of the repair as I also got the cut out measurements in case I need to change the oven in future.

It could be the fan it's self or the multifunction switch that selects oven function that is faulty, Repair or replace depends on exact age, condition and your budget/preference, To determine if a remodel will be required you need to pull the oven out slightly (usually screws around the inside of the oven door) and neasure the acutal cavity size and see if you can get one the same size, they do vary a bit but you can usually find something suitable.

Probably thermostat problem, although some chance you have one side of a 220vac breaker not working. In otherwords oven heating element is "getting" half of the required power. Call electrician!
If the fan is working o/k, and the oven is not gas, then it will be the electric oven element that needs to be replaced.
They are usually located behind a removeable cover at the rear of the oven compartment.
Hope this helps.
Please leave feedback for my solution.

If it is an eletrically heated fan oven, thei it sounds like the oven element has failed.
This is usually located at rrear of oven behind a removeable cover.
Hope this helps you.
Hi.
I would not think that both fan and element are faulty, although it is possible.
if it has a timer make sure that it is on manual and not on auto, as this would stop the oven working.
Other possible fault is faulty main oven selector switch.
Hope this helps. Please do not for get feedback .
Thanks.
