Oven display shows F6 and the convection fan does not run during hot air programs.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool fully before working inside the cavity.
Accessing the convection fan:
- Remove the rear internal panel of the oven cavity (usually held by several screws) to expose the convection fan and cover.
- Check if the fan blade rotates freely by hand. If stiff or scraping, remove debris or replace the motor if the shaft is worn.
- From the rear of the oven, access the fan motor terminals.
- Disconnect the motor and measure resistance; an open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- If a start capacitor is fitted inline with the motor, inspect it for bulging or leakage and test/replace as needed.
Electrical checks:
- Inspect wiring from the control board to the fan motor for damage.
- If the motor and wiring are good but the fan never receives voltage during a convection program, the control board relay may be faulty and require replacement.
After replacing the motor or capacitor, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and test a convection program.
