How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave and let it cool.
- Step 1 – Listen for fan: In convection mode, you should hear the fan running. If silent, suspect the fan motor or control.
- Step 2 – Inspect fan area: Access the rear or side panel (qualified person) to view the convection fan. Check for obstructions like foil or insulation.
- Step 3 – Spin test: Gently try to spin the fan blades by hand (with power disconnected). If stiff or stuck, the motor is likely bad.
- Step 4 – Replace fan motor: Install a new convection fan motor assembly compatible with your Bauknecht combi microwave.
