Possible Causes

Failed cooling fan motor, Blocked cooling fan blades, Loose wiring to cooling fan, Faulty cooling fan triac/relay on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the oven from its housing.

Steps to check:

  • Access cooling fan: Remove the oven from the cabinet if necessary and take off the top cover to expose the cooling fan assembly.
  • Inspect blades: Check for insulation, packaging, or debris obstructing the fan blades. Clear any obstructions.
  • Wiring: Ensure the fan's connectors are secure and not heat-damaged.
  • Motor test: With a multimeter, test the motor windings for continuity. If open, replace the cooling fan motor with a Tower-compatible unit.

Warning: Do not operate the oven with a non-functioning cooling fan; this can overheat the control electronics and cabinet.
