Tower Convection Fan Not Running

Oven light works but the fan does not run in fan oven mode; uneven cooking and hot spots occur.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed convection fan motor, Seized fan bearings, Broken fan blade, Faulty fan selector contact or relay

Safety first: Isolate the oven from mains power before accessing the fan.

Steps to check:

Manual spin: With the oven cool, spin the fan blade by hand. If stiff or noisy, the motor is likely failing.
Motor access: Remove the rear panel of the oven cabinet to access the fan motor. Check wiring and connectors.
Continuity test: Test the motor windings for continuity. Replace the motor if open or shorted.
Blade condition: Replace a cracked or missing fan blade to avoid imbalance and noise.
