Possible Causes

Worn convection fan motor bearings, loose fan blade, foreign object caught in fan, bent fan blade rubbing housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and wait for the fan to stop completely before inspection.

  • Access fan: Remove the rear panel inside the oven cavity to expose the convection fan and blade.
  • Check for debris: Remove any loose screws, foil, or food debris caught in the fan area.
  • Blade inspection: Ensure the fan blade is tight on the shaft and not bent. Straighten minor bends carefully or replace the fan blade.
  • Motor test: Spin the fan by hand; roughness or play indicates worn bearings. Replace the convection fan motor if noisy.

Tip: Avoid using loose foil in the oven; it can be drawn into the fan and cause noise or damage.
