Convection oven making rattling sound.

I have a convection oven that is 2 years old. When I turn it on, it makes a rattling sound like the fan may be loose or something. Any suggestions?

It is most likeky that the fan bearing is worn and thus causing the rattling sound. You will probably need to replace the fan. Check first that there is no obstacle in the way of the fan rotating.

Replacement of the fan will require the back of the oven to be removed giving access to the fan unit, which will need to have the wires disconnected and the fan assembly unbolted. Fitting is the reverse.

Always remember to switch off the power before working on electrical equipment.

How to stop convection fan from hitting heating element in Electrolux oven?

I would replace the fan assembly as it sounds like the blades have moved on the shaft unless there is damage to the element fixings caused by ramming a cooking utensil into the oven that is too big of course.

How do i make my convection fan turn off when i open the oven door

It sounds like there should be a switch on the door and it is malfunctioning. I would contact the manufacturer as it should be covered under warranty if it is malfunctioning. Especially for a $10,000 oven.

Loud fan rattling in convection mode

On the repairs I have done, it has always been a bad fan motor bearing. The only way you are going to be able to tell is to tear it down to the fan assembly and feel if the fan blade or blower is loose. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

Our fan seems to make a loud rattling noise

Hello, Happy new year ! Now for the oven problem. Do you know if it is the convection fan in the oven cavity or the cooling fan in the cabinet ? If it is the conv. fan, it's quite likely just a loose fan blade. remove the rack's and then the cover of the fan and you should be able to inspect the fan blade and more specifically the retaining nut at the center. You can tighten it if loose,( carefully they tend to bend easy ) but be sure the fan itself isn't bent or damaged in some fashion. If that doesn't solve the problem let me know I'll try to direct you to the cooling fan, however it is much more involved and I typically suggest a pro tech. Hope this help's, good luck and thank's for visiting "fixya" today. Macmarkus :)

Convection oven blowing cold air

If your fan is blowing cold air, it's the air inside the oven that circulates. It has nothing to do with the fan. Convection circulates the existing air in the oven. Sounds like you might deselect the convection setting if this continues to happen. We have parts, so please let us know if we can help any further. :>)

My oven is only 2 1/2 years old and is not heating up at all. What are some troubleshooting tips?

If your oven is a fan oven, and the fan runs and temperature light is on then you will need a new element. If it is a convection oven and the temperature light comes on then it could be a thermal cutout problem.

Kitchenaid convection oven fan rattles/noisey

Sometimes the fan blade mounting nut gets loose. Remove the cover from the fan and see if the blade wobbles. If so,tighten the nut on the fan motor.

Cooling and/or convection fan

I had the same problem. The screen protecting the fan bends into the fan from the heat. Take off the top front control panel (3 screws), reach in to the back where the fan is and push the screen back away from the fan. As always, turn the power off first to avoid shock. This should solve your noise problem.
