How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug and allow to cool before accessing the fan.
- Check for debris: Remove the cover and inspect the fan area for loose screws, bits of metal, or food debris. Remove any obstructions.
- Inspect fan blade: Ensure the fan is firmly attached to the motor shaft. Tighten the retaining nut or clip if loose. Gently straighten any bent blades.
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. Roughness, wobble, or side‑to‑side play indicates worn bearings. Replace the fan motor assembly.
- Reassemble securely: Tighten all mounting screws to prevent vibration.
