Bauknecht Worn Fan Motor Bearings

High‑pitched squealing or grinding noise when the oven fan runs.

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

Aged convection fan motor, Lack of lubrication in bearings, Heat damage to motor shaft, Misaligned fan blade rubbing on shroud

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the fan.

Access fan motor: Remove the rear inner panel and then the fan blade to expose the motor shaft.
Check for play: Wiggle the shaft; excessive movement indicates worn bearings.
Inspect for rubbing: Ensure the fan blade does not contact the shroud. Adjust or replace blade if bent.
Replace motor: If noise persists and bearings are worn, replace the convection fan motor with the correct Bauknecht part.
