If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose fan blade, Foreign object caught in fan, Bent fan blade, Worn motor bearings

Safety: Disconnect power and allow oven to cool before accessing the fan.

Steps:

1. Access fan: Remove the inner rear panel of the oven cavity to expose the fan blade.
2. Remove debris: Check for screws, foil, or food debris caught in the fan and remove carefully.
3. Tighten blade: Ensure the central nut or screw holding the fan blade to the motor shaft is tight.
4. Check for wobble: Spin the fan by hand. If it wobbles or scrapes, the blade may be bent or the motor bearings worn. Replace the fan blade or motor as needed.
