Possible Causes

Failed convection fan motor, Obstructed fan blade, Faulty convection relay on EOC, Broken wiring to convection motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check for obstruction: Remove the convection fan cover inside the oven and ensure nothing is blocking the fan blade.
  • Spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand. If stiff or seized, the motor likely needs replacement.
  • Continuity test: Access the rear of the oven, disconnect the convection motor, and test for continuity. Replace if open.
  • Voltage check: During a convection cycle (only if qualified), verify that the motor receives proper voltage. If not, suspect the EOC or wiring.
