  • Step 2 – Inspect roller ring: Remove and check the roller ring for flat spots or debris; clean or replace if worn.
  • Step 3 – Tighten screws: Gently tighten any loose exterior screws or mounting brackets (for built-in/hood models).
  • Step 4 – Fan inspection: If noise seems to come from the back or top, the cooling or convection fan may be worn or obstructed and should be inspected and replaced by a technician.
