Possible Causes

Worn fan motor bearings, Loose fan blade, Debris caught in fan, Bent fan blade rubbing on shroud

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool.

  • Access fan: Remove the inner rear panel of the oven cavity to expose the convection fan and blade.
  • Check for debris: Remove any loose screws, foil, or food debris around the fan.
  • Tighten blade: Ensure the fan blade nut is tight on the motor shaft. If the blade is bent, replace it.
  • Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or noisy, the motor bearings are worn and the fan motor should be replaced.
