Hi all i have the above fan assisted oven, we have an issue with the fan in as much as the main fan initially doesnt come on until the 2nd cooling fan kicks in then it kicks in and thereafter works ok with no issues, cooks fine doesnt overheat.

Will have to be a strip down job to access fan to ascertain how its wired.
Does the fan not turn at all? Could it be that it is turning slowly or just jammed due to grease etc then when heated the grease eases allowing the fan to turn freely???

I was thinking that, so have turned the oven on and am running it through a self clean to see if that helps, then i will strip down and check the fan out, i am just looking at possible causes right now so i don't jump to conclusions and replace the motor then realize it was something else.
If after self clean it still does it and you remove fan check the electrical connections on the fan, not just the push on connectors but also the coil connections, may need re-soldering.
The heat generated by the element may be enough to cause the solder joint to make a connection again and kick in the fan.
Of course the fan can easily be checked on its own but will advise on that if the time comes and necessary.

Its cooled down and the fan doesn't start, it turns by hand ok
will take it out tomorrow and have a look many thanks will let you know
Just had a thought, does anyone know if the fan motor is a 2 phase motor with it coming on when the cooling fan kicks in but not when you put it on fan only
Your probably right, whipping it later today to have a look.
'This Hotpoint built-in double cooker in stainless steel includes a 65L fan assisted main oven with a 35L combined grill conventional oven. The cooker features 5 cooking programs and a 24hr programmable timer with time control. The oven has an air flow cooling fan, internal chimney venting and double glazed doors.'
Am i sure, to honest no, its just we noticed that the main visible fan inside the oven does not kick in when the oven is turned on, and when i researched this everything says it should, the oven element glows very red ( but does not trip) and when the hidden cooling fan kicks in the main fan does also, what drew me to the problem was a bit of a boom inside the oven when it kicks in, there is a setting on the controls for defrosting and we are assuming the main fan should kick in for this it doesn't, but something does make a noise. Have i possibly got things the wrong way round
