Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool. The fan area may be hot.
Checks:
- Listen for fan: During operation, you should hear a steady fan noise. If silent, suspect the fan circuit.
- Visual inspection: Look up through the top grill to see if the fan spins when running.
- Obstruction check: With the unit unplugged, gently try to spin the fan blades with a non-metallic tool. If stiff or blocked, remove debris or replace the fan.
- Wiring: Access the fan motor and verify the connector is secure.
If the fan motor is seized or open-circuit, replace the convection fan motor assembly. If the motor is good but never receives power, the main control board fan driver is likely faulty.
