Possible Causes

Seized fan motor bearings, Burnt fan motor winding, Obstruction in fan blades, Faulty fan supply from selector switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the cooker from the mains before accessing the fan.

  • Listen for noise: If the fan hums but does not turn, it may be jammed or seized.
  • Check for obstruction: Remove the rear inner panel and ensure no foil or food debris is caught in the fan blades.
  • Spin test: Gently try to rotate the fan by hand when cold. Stiff or rough movement indicates worn bearings.
  • Replace motor: A technician should replace the oven fan motor and check the wiring and selector switch contacts.
