How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool before inspection.

Empty the basket: Remove all food and accessories. Check that no small items have escaped into the fan area.
Check placement: Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface; vibration can amplify noise.
Short test: Run the unit empty for a few seconds to locate the noise source. If the noise is from the top/rear, it is likely the fan.
Stop if grinding: If you hear grinding or metal-on-metal sounds, stop using the appliance to avoid further damage.

Warning: Internal mechanical repairs should be done by a professional to avoid damaging the fan housing or motor.
