Ilve Fan Motor Bearing Wear or Loose Components

Oven makes loud rattling or grinding noise when fan runs

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 or cooling fan bearings, Loose fan blade or mounting screws, Foreign object contacting fan, Bent fan blade

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

Identify source: Note whether the noise occurs only in convection modes (convection fan) or whenever the oven is hot (cooling fan).
Inspect fan: Access the appropriate fan (rear of cavity for convection, top/rear for cooling). Check for loose screws, debris, or bent blades.
Tighten and clean: Tighten all mounting hardware and remove any foreign objects.
Replace motor: If the motor shaft has play or feels rough when spun by hand, replace the fan motor.
