How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before accessing the fan.
- Identify noise source: Run the oven briefly and listen to locate whether the noise comes from the rear (convection fan) or top (cooling fan).
- Inspect fan: Remove the fan cover and check for loose screws, warped blades, or foreign objects.
- Tighten and clean: Tighten fan mounting screws and clean off grease and debris.
- Replace motor: If the noise persists and the motor shaft has play or feels rough when turned by hand, replace the fan motor.
Tip: Address rattling early to prevent further damage to the fan or surrounding components.
