Possible Causes
Failed convection fan motor, seized fan blade, wiring issue to fan, control board not sending power
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the rear of the oven or fan assembly.
- Listen for fan: Start a convection bake cycle and listen. If the fan is silent and there is no air movement, suspect the fan circuit.
- Inspect fan blade: Remove the oven rear interior panel to access the fan blade. Check for obstructions or bent blades.
- Test motor: With power OFF, disconnect the fan motor and measure resistance. An open reading indicates a failed motor.
- Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the control board to the fan motor for damage.
- Replace motor: Replace the convection fan motor if it is open or seized.
