Oven makes loud rattling or scraping noises when the fan is running.

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

Loose fan blade, Debris caught in fan, Bent fan blade, Worn fan motor bearings

Safety first: Disconnect power and wait for the fan to stop completely before inspection.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Access fan: Remove the rear internal panel to expose the fan.
2. Check for debris: Remove any loose screws, food residues, or foil pieces around the fan.
3. Inspect fan blade: Ensure the blade is tight on the shaft and not bent. Tighten the centre nut if loose.
4. Test bearings: Spin the fan by hand. Roughness, grinding, or side play indicates worn bearings; replace the Hotpoint-Ariston convection fan motor.
