Possible Causes
Open or seized convection fan motor, Obstruction in fan blades, Failed convection fan relay on EOC, Broken wire to fan motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before accessing the fan.
Step-by-step checks:
- Visual check: In convection mode, look through the rear fan cover to see if the fan spins. If not, proceed.
- Access fan: Remove the rear oven wall panel inside the cavity (if accessible) or the rear exterior panel to reach the fan motor.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no screws, foil, or debris are jamming the fan blades.
- Test motor: Disconnect the motor and measure resistance. Replace the motor if open or if the shaft is stiff.
- Control output: If the motor and wiring are good but the fan never receives power in convection mode, replace the EOC.
