Possible Causes

Seized fan motor bearings, Burnt fan motor winding, Obstruction in fan blades, Broken fan wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate from mains and allow oven to cool.

Steps:

  • 1. Listen for motor: In fan mode, if you hear humming but no rotation, the motor may be seized.
  • 2. Access fan: Remove the inner rear panel of the oven cavity to expose the fan blades. Check for obstructions (foil, screws, food debris).
  • 3. Spin test: With power off, spin the fan by hand. It should move freely. If stiff or noisy, the motor likely needs replacement.
  • 4. Replace fan motor: Remove the rear outer panel, disconnect wiring, and unbolt the fan motor assembly. Fit a new Indesit fan motor and reassemble.
