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.
