Does the fan come on when you turn on convection heat?
If not it may be the control circuit for the convection heat has a bad relay or wiring problem.
If the fan still works then the heating element for convection function is likely burnt out and will require replacement I expect.

Yes fan still works. Thinking it will be too difficult or expensive to replace heating element. Thanks
for your help.
Hi @skup
You missed a digit from the model number.
If it is a PVM9179DF1BB, 2BB 3BB etc then here's the cost and location of the element - part #3019 interior parts diagram that may help. At least initially to test it with an Ohmmeter to see if it is OK or not.
If you do decide to test /replace it then be safety aware as the HV capacitor can seriously injure you if it hasn't been discharged properly before commencing any work after removing the microwave cover
