Possible Causes

Loose convection fan blade, Worn convection or cooling fan motor bearings, Loose internal panels or screws, Warped fan shroud

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal fans. Moving parts can cause injury.

  • Step 1 – Isolate noise: Determine if the noise occurs only in convection mode, only during cool-down, or all the time. This helps identify which fan is involved.
  • Step 2 – Inspect convection fan: Remove the convection fan cover inside the oven and check that the fan blade is tight on the shaft. Tighten the mounting nut if loose.
  • Step 3 – Check for debris: Remove any loose screws, foil, or food debris that may be contacting the fan.
  • Step 4 – Cooling fan and panels: Remove the rear panel and check the cooling fan and surrounding panels for looseness. Tighten any loose screws.
  • Step 5 – Replace noisy motor: If the fan motor makes grinding or squealing noises when spun by hand, replace the motor.

Tip: Record a short video of the noise to help a technician diagnose if you need professional service.
