Possible Causes
Failed convection fan motor, Obstructed fan blades, Open thermal cut-out on convection circuit, Faulty fan relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool before inspection.
User-level checks:
- Listen for fan: Start convection mode and listen. If you do not hear the convection fan but the error appears, the fan circuit may be faulty.
Technician-level checks:
- Access the rear of the unit to reach the convection fan motor and housing.
- Inspect the fan blades for obstructions (foil, food debris) and remove any blockage.
- Test the fan motor for continuity and free rotation by hand; replace if seized or open.
- Check the convection circuit thermal cut-out and wiring.
- Verify that the control board is sending power to the fan when convection is selected; if not, the fan relay or board may be defective.
