Whirlpool Convection airflow or element issue

Convection fan runs but convection cooking results are uneven or poor.

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 heating element, Blocked convection fan cover, Overloaded racks blocking airflow, Incorrect rack positions

Safety first: Turn off power before testing elements.

Check convection element: Remove the rear interior panel and inspect the circular convection element for breaks. Test for continuity and replace if open.
Clean fan cover: Ensure the convection fan cover holes are not blocked by grease or foil. Clean thoroughly.
Rack loading: Avoid covering entire racks with large pans that block airflow. Use recommended rack positions from the Whirlpool manual for convection baking.
