How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the fan area.
- Confirm symptom: Start a cycle and listen near the vents. If silent, stop and unplug.
- Check for obstructions: Look through the top or rear grill for foreign objects. Remove debris with a wooden stick while unplugged.
- Manual spin test (advanced): Access the fan and try spinning it by hand. If stiff or scraping, the motor or bearings are failing.
