Possible Causes

Loose fan blade, Debris caught in fan, Worn fan motor bearings, Loose internal panels or screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool before inspection.

Steps to check:

  • Fan blade: Remove the fan cover inside the cavity and check that the fan blade is tight on its shaft. Tighten the central nut if loose.
  • Debris: Remove any foil, screws, or other debris from around the fan and base.
  • Panel screws: From the rear and sides, check that all cabinet screws are tight. Vibrating panels can cause noise.
  • Motor bearings: If the noise is a grinding or squealing from the fan motor, the motor bearings are likely worn and the motor should be replaced.
