Possible Causes

Seized fan motor bearings, Open circuit fan motor winding, Obstruction in fan blades, Faulty fan selector contact

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the oven and allow it to cool before removing panels.

  • Check for obstruction: Remove the rear cover inside the oven and inspect the fan blades for foil, food debris, or screws obstructing movement.
  • Spin test: Manually spin the fan. If stiff or noisy, the motor is likely failing and should be replaced.
  • Electrical test: Disconnect the motor and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
  • Replace motor: Remove mounting screws from the rear of the oven, swap the motor, and refit the fan blade securely.
