Possible Causes
Failed fan motor, Obstructed fan blades, Loose fan wiring, Faulty fan control output on board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the smoker before accessing the fan. Fan blades can cause injury.
Steps to restore fan operation:
- Check for obstructions: Remove racks and inspect the fan area for foil, food, or debris blocking the blades. Clear any obstructions.
- Spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff or seized, the motor likely needs replacement.
- Inspect wiring: Access the rear of the fan and verify that the wires are securely connected and not damaged.
- Replace fan motor: If the motor is seized or does not run when powered, replace the convection fan motor assembly.
- Control output: If a new fan still does not run, the control board’s fan output may be faulty, requiring control box replacement.
