How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool.

Check for obstructions: Remove oven racks and the rear interior cover (if removable) to inspect the convection fan. Ensure no foil, pans, or debris are blocking the blade.
Spin test: Gently spin the fan blade by hand. It should rotate freely without grinding. If it is stiff or noisy, the motor may be failing.
Access rear of unit: Remove the rear panel to reach the convection fan motor. Inspect wiring and connectors for burns or looseness.
Test motor continuity: Disconnect the motor leads and check for continuity. An open motor indicates it must be replaced.
If motor and wiring are good: The main PCB may not be supplying power to the fan; replacement of the PCB may be required.

Warning: Do not run the oven with the rear cover removed; this can expose live parts and hot surfaces.

Oven displays F26 and may not start a cook cycle; often associated with convection or fan functions.
