Asko Oven E06 Error: Convection fan fault
Asko oven E06 error is a common issue reported by Asko appliance owners. What Does Asko Oven Error Code E06 Mean? E06 means the convection fan motor inside the oven cavity is not rotating at the required speed. Asko ovens rely on this fan for fan-forced baking, convection roasting, and multi-zone cooking. When the fan […]

Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
Maybe. Conventional (non-fan) bake modes may still function normally. Fan-forced modes should not be used while E06 is active as the motor may overheat further.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. Power-cycling clears the error display. E06 will return immediately when any fan-dependent mode is selected if the motor fault has not been fixed.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: Stop all oven use if you detect an electrical burning smell during any cooking mode — not just fan modes., Do not attempt to run fan modes repeatedly to "free up" a seized motor — this risks burning out the motor windings entirely..
Symptoms You May Notice
No air movement heard in fan-forced mode
When a fan-forced programme is selected the oven is silent at the back wall — no airflow hum or blade movement is detected.
E06 displayed when fan mode selected
Choosing fan-forced bake or convection roast causes the display to immediately show E06 and the selected mode to fail to start.
Uneven cooking across oven racks
If the fan is intermittently slow rather than stopped, food on one side of the oven cooks faster than the other due to poor air circulation.
Burning smell from rear of oven cavity
A seized motor attempting to run overheats its windings, producing a faint electrical burning smell from the back of the oven during cooking.
Possible Causes
Seized convection fan motor bearings
High-heat cycling degrades the fan motor bearings over time. Once seized, the motor draws high current, triggering the fault and risking winding burnout.
DIY PossibleFan blade obstruction
A rack or dropped utensil can contact the plastic fan blade guard, preventing the blades from turning freely.
DIY PossibleRelay or wiring fault
If the motor spins freely by hand but will not run when powered, the supply relay on the control board or the wiring to the motor has failed.
Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Check for obstructions
With the oven cold and power off, remove all oven racks and look at the fan blade cover at the back of the cavity. Ensure nothing is pressed against it. Gently try to spin the blade through the cover holes — it should rotate freely.
If the blade is stiff to turn by hand, the motor bearings have likely seized and the motor needs replacement.

2
Test static bake modes
Select a conventional (non-fan) bake mode at 180 °C and verify the lower and upper elements heat normally. If these work, the fault is isolated to the fan circuit only.
Use conventional modes temporarily while awaiting repair — add 10–15 minutes to fan-forced recipe times when cooking conventionally.

3
Inspect rear fan motor connector
With power fully off and the oven cool, the fan motor connector is accessible by removing the fan blade cover (usually two screws). Unplug and re-seat the connector. Inspect for heat damage or corrosion.
Take a photo before disconnecting anything to ensure correct reassembly.
Tools required
When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
- Fan blade is free to spin manually but motor will not run when powered — relay or wiring fault.
- Motor windings show signs of heat damage (discolouration, smell) indicating overheating from repeated seized starts.
- E06 persists after motor replacement — possible control board issue.
