Possible Causes
Failed convection fan motor, Seized fan shaft due to grease, Faulty fan selector or relay, Broken fan blades
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before removing the fan cover.
- Check fan manually: Remove the fan cover inside the cavity and gently spin the fan by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff, clean and free any obstructions.
- Test motor: Access the motor from the rear, disconnect it, and measure resistance. Replace if open or if it hums but does not turn.
- Inspect wiring and selector: Verify that the fan receives power in fan modes. If not, suspect the selector switch or control relay.
- Replace motor: Install a new convection fan motor compatible with your Ikea model.
Tip: After repair, test with a fan-assisted bake to ensure even airflow and temperature.
