How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the smoker and wait until it is completely cool.

Steps to inspect the fan:

Open the smoker door and locate the internal circulation fan (usually on the rear wall inside the cooking chamber).
Check for foil, food debris, or grease buildup obstructing the fan blades. Clean thoroughly and ensure the blades spin freely by hand.
Remove the rear access panel to reach the fan motor and wiring.
Inspect the fan motor harness connector; reseat it firmly.
Test the fan motor for continuity with a multimeter. An open circuit indicates a failed motor that must be replaced.
If the motor has proper resistance but does not receive voltage when the smoker is running, the fan relay or control board may be defective.

Replace the convection fan motor with a GE Profile-compatible part if it is seized or electrically open.
