Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power to the range. Wait several minutes for internal components to cool.
Ventilation check:
- Ensure the range has proper clearance and that vents are not blocked by foil, pans, or debris.
- Clean dust and grease from external vents with a vacuum and soft brush.
Fan inspection (advanced):
- Remove the cooktop glass or rear panel to access the induction cooling fan.
- Check for foreign objects (plastic, food, insulation) obstructing the fan blades and remove them.
- Spin the fan by hand; it should rotate freely without grinding.
- Verify the fan connector is fully seated on the power module.
Testing: If the fan is seized or noisy, replace the fan assembly. If the fan tests good but does not run when the cooktop is hot, the power module may not be powering it and should be evaluated by a technician.
