Possible Causes

Seized convection fan motor, open motor winding, obstruction in fan blades, failed convection fan relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the rear of the oven.

  • Access fan: Remove the rear interior panel of the oven cavity to expose the convection fan and element.
  • Check for obstructions: Ensure no screws, foil, or debris are jammed in the fan blades.
  • Spin test: Manually spin the fan. If stiff or noisy, the motor bearings may be failing; replace the motor.
  • Electrical test: Measure motor resistance; an open circuit indicates a failed motor.
  • Control output: If the motor is good, check whether the control board supplies voltage to the fan in convection mode. If not, the relay or board is faulty and should be replaced.
