Possible Causes
Failed convection fan motor, Open convection fan wiring, Faulty convection relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the fan.
- Mode selection: Ensure you have selected a convection mode, not standard bake.
- Access fan: Remove the rear interior panel to expose the convection fan. Try spinning the fan blade by hand; it should move freely.
- Motor test: With power off, test the fan motor for continuity. An open reading indicates a failed motor.
- Wiring and control: Inspect wiring to the motor. If wiring and motor are good, the control board may not be sending power to the fan and may need replacement.
Note: Some models delay fan start until a certain temperature is reached; consult the manual.
