Ilve Convection Fan Bearing Wear / Imbalance

Oven fan is very noisy, rattling, or squealing during operation.

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

Worn convection fan motor bearings, loose fan blade, debris caught in fan, bent fan blade causing imbalance

Safety first: Disconnect power. Wait for the fan and elements to cool.

Noise diagnosis:

Remove shelves and the rear internal panel to access the convection fan.
Check for loose screws or debris around the fan; remove any foreign objects.
Spin the fan by hand; if it feels rough, wobbles, or makes grinding noises, the motor bearings are worn and the motor should be replaced.
Tighten the central fan nut and mounting screws. Replace a bent or damaged fan blade.
