Possible Causes

Failed convection fan motor, Obstructed fan blade, Faulty convection relay on control board, Broken fan blade

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the fan.

  • Verify mode: Ensure a convection mode is actually selected (e.g., "Conv. Bake"), not standard bake.
  • Listen for fan: During convection operation, you should hear the fan. If silent, access the fan from inside the oven by removing the rear interior cover.
  • Inspect fan blade: Check for broken or loose blades and obstructions. Clear any debris.
  • Test motor: From the rear of the oven, disconnect the convection motor and test for continuity. Replace the motor if open or seized.
  • Control board: If the motor is good but never receives power in convection mode, the control board relay may be faulty and require replacement.
