Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely before working inside.
Steps to check and correct:
- Access fan: Remove oven racks and the rear interior panel to expose the convection fan.
- Inspect blade: Check that the blade is tight on the shaft and not bent. Tighten the mounting nut if loose.
- Remove debris: Clear any food particles or foil pieces from around the fan and shroud.
- Check motor play: Wiggle the fan shaft; excessive play or grinding indicates worn bearings and the motor should be replaced.
When to call a technician: If the motor needs replacement or if noise persists after cleaning, professional service is recommended.
