How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and wait for it to cool. Do not insert fingers near the fan while powered.

Steps to fix non-running fan:

  • Listen during operation: If the heater glows but no airflow noise is heard, suspect the fan.
  • Check for obstructions: Remove basket and pan. Inspect the fan grill for stuck food, foil, or accessories blocking movement.
  • Access fan assembly: Remove the rear or top cover. Try spinning the fan blade by hand; it should move freely.
  • Test motor: Measure resistance across the motor leads. An open circuit or very high resistance indicates a failed motor. Replace with an LG-compatible fan motor.

Note: If the motor is good but never receives voltage during a heating cycle, the main control board may be defective.
