How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and let it cool before accessing the fan.

Steps to reduce noise:

Check for loose parts: Ensure the basket and internal accessories are properly seated; loose items can rattle.
Access fan assembly: Remove the rear or top cover to reach the circulation fan.
Remove debris: Carefully remove any food particles, foil, or other objects from the fan blades and surrounding shroud.
Straighten or replace blade: If a blade is bent, gently straighten it or replace the fan blade if cracked.
Tighten mounting: Tighten the fan hub nut and any screws securing the motor bracket.
Assess bearings: Spin the fan by hand; if it feels rough or wobbly, the circulation fan motor bearings are worn and the motor should be replaced.
