Electrolux EI30EF45QS 30 in 5.1 cu ft Built-In Electric Wall Oven with True European Convection 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 in standard bake mode but convection cooking will not work properly. Replace the convection fan motor. On Electrolux wall ovens, the fan motor is accessed from the rear panel of the oven — the oven typically needs to be pulled from the wall for service.
