Possible Causes
Fan running at high speed due to warm load, Items blocking air vents, Loose internal duct covers, Damper flap vibrating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No electrical work is required; unplug only if removing panels.
- Step 1 – Check loading: Ensure food items are not pressed against the rear wall or covering air vents.
- Step 2 – Inspect duct covers: Verify that internal plastic covers over air channels are properly clipped in place.
- Step 3 – Damper inspection: If noise comes from the damper area, remove the cover and check for a loose flap or broken hinge. Replace the damper assembly if necessary.
- Step 4 – Normal operation: Some airflow noise is normal immediately after loading warm food or door openings; it should reduce as temperatures stabilise.
