Check the grill as well to see if theres a general bad connection etc.
Thats because the fan oven and conventional oven use different elements.
The fan oven will use an element situated around the fan blade.
Conventional oven use's the grill and a bottom element for cooking.
For the original poster......Does the thermostat light come on when you switch on the fan oven ? If it does......and the fan definitely works , then 90% sure it'll be the circular element behind the oven back plate.
Just make sure the clock is set as most fan ovens won't operate unless the clock is set .
