How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before accessing the fan.

  • Identify fan: Determine if the noise occurs only in convection mode (convection fan) or whenever the oven is on (cooling fan).
  • Inspect interior fan: Remove the interior fan cover and check for loose screws, food debris, or a bent blade. Tighten and clean as needed.
  • Check rear motor: From the back, inspect the fan motor and mounting. Tighten mounting screws.
  • Replace motor: If the motor squeals or grinds when spun by hand, replace the fan motor assembly.
