How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit. Moving parts can cause injury.
- Identify noise source: Run the unit briefly with the basket removed (if safe per manual) to localize the noise to the fan area or housing.
- Inspect fan: Through the top guard, check for loose screws or a wobbling fan. Remove the cover to access the fan directly. Tighten the fan nut or screw on the motor shaft.
- Remove debris: Clear any food pieces, foil, or plastic touching the fan blades or shroud.
- Check motor bearings: Spin the fan by hand. If rough or noisy, replace the convection fan motor assembly.
- Secure panels: Tighten any loose internal brackets or outer shell screws that may vibrate at high speed.
