Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch off the oven at the breaker and let it cool completely before opening the top cover.
Step-by-step checks:
- Access cooling fan: Remove the oven from the cabinet if necessary and take off the top cover to expose the cooling fan assembly.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no insulation or wiring is obstructing the fan blades. Remove any debris.
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand; it should move freely. Stiff or noisy movement indicates worn bearings and the fan should be replaced.
- Electrical test: With power off, measure resistance of the fan motor. An open circuit suggests a failed motor.
- Replace cooling fan: Unscrew the fan bracket, disconnect wiring, and install the new V-ZUG cooling fan assembly. Route cables away from hot surfaces.
When to call a technician: If the fan is good but F10 persists, the control electronics driving the fan are likely defective and require professional service.
