How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and let it cool before opening.
Steps to reduce noise:
- Check for loose parts: Gently shake the cooled unit. If you hear something moving inside, there may be a loose screw or broken plastic piece.
- Inspect fan area: Remove the housing to access the fan. Look for food particles, foil, or plastic caught in the blades.
- Tighten fan blade: Ensure the nut or clip securing the fan blade to the motor shaft is tight. Re-seat the blade if it is wobbling.
- Check motor bearings: Spin the fan by hand. If you feel roughness or hear grinding, replace the fan motor.
- Secure mounts: Tighten any loose screws on the fan bracket and heater assembly to prevent vibration.
