Dacor DOB30M977DS 30 in 4.8 cu ft True Convection Wall Oven with WiFi MECH-FAN Error Fix: Convection Fan Motor Noise or Failure

The convection fan makes squealing, grinding, or rattling noise during operation, or the fan does not spin at all. Bad bearings are the most common cause of noise. If the fan blade is loose on the motor shaft, it can create a rattling sound. If the motor has failed entirely, the oven will still heat but without convection circulation. Replace the convection fan motor. On Dacor wall ovens, the fan motor is accessed from the rear panel of the oven cavity.
