Possible Causes

Failed tangential cooling fan motor, Blocked or seized fan wheel, Faulty fan triac or relay on control board, Broken wiring to cooling fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power. Be aware of sharp metal edges when removing panels.

Fan access and inspection:

  • Remove the oven from the cabinet if necessary to access the top or rear where the cooling fan assembly is mounted.
  • Check if the fan wheel spins freely by hand. If stiff or seized, the motor assembly should be replaced.
  • Inspect for grease or debris buildup obstructing the fan; clean carefully if the motor is otherwise sound.
  • Disconnect the fan motor and measure its resistance; an open circuit indicates a failed motor.
  • Check wiring from the control board to the fan for continuity and secure connections.

Control board check:

  • If the fan motor tests good but never runs or runs constantly, the fan control triac/relay on the electronic module may be defective.
  • Control board repair or replacement is typically a technician-level task.

Reassemble, restore power, and run a heating cycle to verify that the fan starts and stops appropriately and that F5 does not reappear.
