Possible Causes

Partially seized convection fan motor, Damaged or loose fan blades, Heavy grease build-up on fan and cavity, Incorrect shelf positioning blocking airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains before removing internal panels.

  • 1. Clean the cavity and fan cover: Remove shelves and the rear fan cover. Thoroughly clean grease and carbon deposits from the cover, fan blades, and surrounding area using an oven-safe cleaner.
  • 2. Check fan blade condition: Ensure the fan blades are firmly attached to the motor shaft and not bent or missing. Replace the fan blade or motor assembly if damaged.
  • 3. Test fan rotation: Spin the fan by hand; it should move freely without grinding. If stiff or noisy, replace the convection fan motor.
  • 4. Review shelf usage: Avoid placing large trays that completely cover the shelf and block airflow. Use recommended shelf positions from the Indesit manual for fan cooking.
