Possible Causes
Seized fan motor, worn motor bearings, obstruction in fan blades, failed fan motor capacitor (if fitted)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely before accessing the fan.
Steps to check:
- Listen for fan: When the fan oven function is selected, you should hear the fan running. If silent, proceed.
- Access fan: Remove the oven shelves and back panel inside the cavity to expose the fan blade.
- Check for obstruction: Look for loose screws, foil, or debris jamming the fan. Remove any obstruction.
- Spin by hand: Gently rotate the fan blade. It should turn freely. If stiff or noisy, the motor is likely failing.
- Rear access: Remove the rear panel of the cooker to access the fan motor terminals. Check for power at the motor when the fan function is selected (qualified persons only).
- Replace motor: If the motor is seized or not receiving power due to internal failure, replace the fan motor assembly.
