Possible Causes
Seized convection fan motor, Broken fan blade jammed against cover, Open winding in fan motor, Faulty fan selector contact
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the oven to cool.
- Access convection fan: Remove the rear cover inside the oven cavity to expose the fan and motor.
- Check for obstruction: Ensure the fan blade is not bent or rubbing against the cover. Straighten or replace the blade if damaged.
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If stiff or seized, the motor is likely faulty.
- Electrical test: Disconnect the motor leads and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- Replace motor: Remove mounting screws from the rear of the oven (may require rear panel removal). Install a new Severin convection fan motor and refit the fan blade.
- Test convection mode: Restore power and select a fan-assisted mode. Confirm the fan runs smoothly.
