How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before touching the convection fan or elements.
Steps:
- Verify that the convection fan runs when convection mode is selected. If not, test and replace the convection fan motor.
- Inspect the bake element for warping or sections that do not glow evenly. Replace if damaged.
- Ensure racks are level and not bent. Avoid placing large pans against the walls; allow air circulation.
