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.
  • Replace motor: Install a new Tefal-compatible fan motor assembly if the motor is seized or electrically open.
