How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before cleaning or opening.

Step 1 – Clean vents and fan

Clean rear and bottom vents with a brush or vacuum.
Remove basket and pan and gently clean visible fan blades with a soft brush.

Step 2 – Check airflow

After cleaning, run the unit and feel for improved airflow at the rear vents.

Step 3 – Internal checks (advanced)

Open the housing and inspect the fan motor and blades.
Ensure the fan blade is firmly attached and not slipping on the shaft.
Test motor voltage during operation (requires electrical skills); low voltage may indicate a control board issue.

Replace the fan motor assembly if it is weak or noisy.
If the motor is good but underpowered due to the board, replace the main control board.
