Kenwood Cooling Fan Wear or Obstruction

Fan noise from inside the cooker is unusually loud or grinding during operation (on models with cooling fans).

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Debris in fan blades, Worn fan motor bearings, Loose fan mounting, Fan blades rubbing on housing

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before opening the base or side panels.

Access fan: Remove the bottom or side cover to locate the cooling fan near the control PCB or heater.
Clean blades: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the fan.
Check clearance: Spin the fan by hand to ensure it rotates freely without rubbing.
Tighten mounts: Tighten any loose screws or clips holding the fan.

If the fan still makes grinding noises, replace the fan motor assembly.
