How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before touching the fan assembly.

Steps:

  • Confirm source: Run the oven briefly and listen to locate the noise (fan vs. cooling fan). Then switch off and isolate.
  • Inspect fan motor: Access the convection fan motor from the rear. Check for play in the shaft.
  • Replace motor: Lubrication is usually not a permanent fix on sealed motors. Replace the convection fan motor if squealing persists.
