How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and wait for the fan to stop completely before opening the oven.
- Check for loose items: Remove shelves and trays. Inspect the rear panel area for loose screws or debris.
- Inspect fan blade: Remove the rear internal panel and check that the fan blade is tight on the shaft. Tighten the centre nut (often reverse thread) if loose.
- Clear obstructions: Remove any foil, food debris, or insulation touching the fan.
- Assess motor bearings: Spin the fan by hand; roughness or side play indicates worn bearings. Replace the fan motor if noisy.
