How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and wait for the oven to cool before accessing the fan.
- Identify noise source: Run the Toshiba oven briefly and listen to determine if the noise comes from the convection fan (rear) or cooling fan (top).
- Inspect fan blades: Remove the rear interior panel to access the convection fan. Tighten the fan nut and ensure the blade is not rubbing the cover. Straighten minor bends carefully.
- Remove debris: Clear any loose screws, foil, or food pieces from the fan area.
- Replace noisy motor: If the motor shaft has play or squeals when spun by hand, replace the fan motor assembly.
