Possible Causes

Worn fan motor bearings, Obstruction hitting fan blades, Bent fan blade, Control board stuck in cool-down mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power at the breaker before accessing any fan components.

Normal behavior:

  • On many Samsung ranges, a cooling fan will run for some time after cooking; this is normal unless it runs excessively long or is very loud.

If noise is abnormal:

  • Remove the rear panel to access the convection or cooling fan.
  • Check for loose screws, insulation, or wires contacting the fan blades.
  • Spin the fan by hand; if it grinds or wobbles, replace the fan motor and blade as needed.

If fan never shuts off: The control board may be misreading temperature or stuck in cool-down. A technician should check the temperature sensor and control board.
