Possible Causes

Loose fan blade, Food debris or screws caught in fan, Worn fan motor bearings, Loose mounting screws on fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power and allow the oven to cool. Fan blades can be sharp.

  • Access fan: Remove shelves and the rear panel inside the oven to expose the fan.
  • Check for debris: Remove any loose items, such as foil, screws, or burnt food, from around the fan.
  • Tighten fan nut: Ensure the fan blade retaining nut is tight on the motor shaft.
  • Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or noisy, the motor bearings are worn and the motor should be replaced.
