How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooker before accessing the fan. Do not insert objects into a running fan.
- Access the fan: Remove the bottom or side cover to locate the cooling fan near the control board or heating area.
- Clean blades: Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust and debris from the fan blades and surrounding area.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no wires or insulation are touching the fan blades. Reroute or secure any loose wiring.
- Tighten mounts: Tighten screws holding the fan to reduce vibration noise.
If the fan does not spin freely by hand or makes grinding noises, replace the fan assembly to prevent overheating of internal components.
