Possible Causes

Failed convection fan motor, open convection element, obstructed fan blades, faulty EOC convection relay

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power before removing the rear panel or fan cover.

  • Listen for fan: In convection mode, you should hear the fan running. If silent, suspect the motor.
  • Inspect fan area: Remove the interior fan cover and check for food debris or screws blocking the fan.
  • Test fan motor: Access the motor from the rear and measure resistance; an open reading indicates a bad motor.
  • Check convection element: On models with a separate convection element, test for continuity and replace if open.
  • Replace faulty parts: Replace the convection fan motor or element as needed. If both are good, the EOC may be at fault.
