How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before opening. Avoid applying flammable lubricants near hot components.
- Access fan motor: Remove the rear or top cover to reach the fan motor.
- Clean dust: Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust from the motor vents and shaft area.
- Check alignment: Ensure the fan blade is centered and not rubbing against the shroud or housing.
- Replace motor: If squealing persists or the shaft has noticeable play, replace the convection fan motor. Lubricating sealed bearings is generally not effective long-term.
