How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the fan or internal components.
- Step 1 – Identify noise source: Run the unit briefly with an empty basket to locate whether the noise is from the fan area or elsewhere.
- Step 2 – Tighten hardware: Access the fan assembly and tighten any loose screws on the fan bracket and motor mounts.
- Step 3 – Inspect blades: Check that the fan blade is firmly attached to the motor shaft and not cracked. Gently straighten any slightly bent blades.
- Step 4 – Replace motor if needed: If the noise is due to worn bearings (squealing or grinding that persists), replace the fan motor assembly.
