Possible Causes
Burnt-out convection fan motor, Seized fan bearings, Broken fan blade, Faulty fan relay on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the oven to cool before working near the fan.
- Access convection fan: Remove the rear panel inside the oven cavity to expose the convection fan and shroud.
- Inspect fan blade: Check that the fan blade is intact and firmly attached to the motor shaft. Replace the blade if cracked or loose.
- Test motor: Spin the fan by hand; it should rotate freely. If stiff or seized, replace the convection fan motor assembly. Measure motor winding resistance; an open circuit indicates a failed motor.
- Check wiring and relay: Inspect the wiring from the motor to the main PCB. Repair any damaged wires. On the PCB, check the convection fan relay for signs of overheating. Replace the PCB if the relay is defective.
- Re-test: After reassembly, restore power and select a fan-assisted mode. Confirm that the fan runs and that E12 does not reappear.
