How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the fan area. Do not insert fingers or tools into the fan while powered.
- Inspect for debris: Remove the basket and look up at the fan. Remove any loose food pieces or foil using a wooden or plastic tool.
- Tighten mounts (advanced): Access the fan assembly from the top or rear and tighten any loose screws holding the fan shroud or motor.
- Straighten blades: If a metal fan blade is slightly bent, carefully straighten it to reduce wobble. Replace if cracks are present.
- Replace fan motor: Persistent grinding or squealing indicates worn bearings; replace the convection fan motor assembly.
