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.

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
