Oven fan very noisy, rattling or grinding sound during operation

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

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

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.
