How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the fan.

  • Inspect fan blades: Remove the rear panel and check the cooling fan blades for debris or damage. Clear any obstructions.
  • Spin test: With power OFF, spin the fan by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff, replace the cooling fan motor.
  • Electrical test: Check motor resistance and wiring continuity. Replace the motor if readings are out of spec.
  • Control board: If the fan is mechanically and electrically sound but speed is still incorrect, replace the electronic oven control board.
