Possible Causes

Failed convection fan motor, Open convection fan wiring, Stuck or obstructed fan blade, Faulty fan relay on EOC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power at the breaker. Internal metal edges can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves.

  • Check convection fan operation:
    • Start a convection bake cycle and listen for the fan (with door closed). If silent and F50 appears, continue.
  • Inspect fan from inside oven:
    • Remove the convection fan cover (screws at rear of oven cavity).
    • Try spinning the fan blade by hand; it should turn freely without scraping.
    • If seized or very stiff, replace the Convection Fan Motor Assembly.
  • Access rear of oven:
    • Pull the oven out from the wall (or remove from cabinet for wall ovens).
    • Remove rear panel to access the convection fan motor terminals.
    • Check for loose or burnt wires; repair as needed.
  • Test motor:
    • With power disconnected, measure motor winding resistance; an open circuit indicates a bad motor.
    • If comfortable and safe, you can bench-test the motor with proper AC voltage using insulated connectors.
  • Control board:
    • If the motor and wiring are good, the fan relay on the EOC may be defective; replace the Electronic Oven Control (EOC).
