Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan motor, blocked fan blades, wiring issue to the fan, failed EOC fan driver.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before accessing internal components. Fan blades can be sharp.
- Listen for Fan: When starting a bake or self-clean, you should hear the cooling fan run. If silent or noisy, suspect the fan.
- Access Fan: Remove the rear panel to access the cooling fan assembly.
- Inspect Blades: Check for insulation, wiring, or debris obstructing the fan. Spin the blades by hand; they should turn freely.
- Test Motor: With a multimeter, check for proper voltage at the fan motor when the oven is calling for fan operation (use extreme caution around live voltage). If voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the fan motor.
- Check Wiring: Inspect the harness from the EOC to the fan for damage. If the fan and wiring are good, the EOC may be faulty.
