Possible Causes
Failed convection fan motor, Obstructed fan blades, Faulty fan speed sensor (if fitted), Loose wiring to fan motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the oven from the mains. Fan blades can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves.
Steps to check:
- Access convection fan: Remove the rear internal panel inside the oven cavity to expose the convection fan and cover.
- Check for obstruction: Look for loose screws, foil, or food debris jamming the fan. Remove any obstructions.
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If stiff or noisy, the motor bearings may be worn.
- Motor test: From the rear of the oven, access the fan motor terminals and test for continuity. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- Wiring inspection: Check the harness from the motor to the control board for damage or loose connectors.
- Replace motor: If the motor is open or seized, replace the convection fan motor with a suitable Montpellier part.
