Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker. Internal metal edges are sharp; wear gloves.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check fan operation: During a convection cycle (before disconnecting), note whether you hear the convection fan running.
- Access convection fan: Remove the rear interior panel of the oven cavity to expose the convection fan and shroud.
- Inspect blades: Ensure the fan spins freely by hand and is not blocked by food debris or warped metal.
- Test motor: From the rear of the oven, disconnect the convection motor leads and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the motor to the control board for damage or loose connectors.
When to replace parts: Replace the convection fan motor assembly if open or seized. If the motor and wiring are good but the fan never receives power, the control board may need replacement.
