Falcon Mechanical Noise from Fan or Loose Components

Excessive noise from the oven during operation, such as rattling, grinding, or squealing.

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

Worn convection fan motor bearings, Loose fan blade or mounting screws, Loose oven panels or racks vibrating, Foreign object in fan housing

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

Identify source: Run the oven briefly and listen to locate the noise (rear, top, sides). Then disconnect power.
Check fan: Remove the rear interior panel and inspect the fan blade and mounting. Tighten screws and remove any debris.
Test motor: Spin the fan by hand; roughness or play indicates a failing motor that should be replaced.

Do not ignore grinding noises; a seizing motor can overheat and fail catastrophically.
