Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the grill and allow it to cool before accessing the fan.

  • Inspect fan impeller: Remove the fan cover and check for bent blades or heavy buildup. Clean thoroughly and gently straighten minor bends.
  • Check mounting hardware: Tighten all screws securing the Timberwolf Combustion Fan Assembly to the grill body.
  • Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or wobbly, the bearings are likely worn.
  • Replace fan assembly: Install a new fan assembly if noise persists after cleaning and tightening.
