Jenn-Air JGS1450DS Slide-In Gas Range MECH-06 Error Fix: Convection Fan Noisy or Not Spinning

Error code MECH-06 on the Jenn-Air JGS1450DS Slide-In Gas Range means: Convection Fan Noisy or Not Spinning. The convection fan behind the rear oven wall is making grinding, rattling, or scraping noises, or has stopped spinning entirely — the fan motor bearings may be worn from heat exposure, or the fan blade may be loose on the motor shaft and wobbling; access the fan by removing the rear oven panel (inside the oven cavity — held by screws); check the fan blade for looseness by trying to wiggle it; if the motor shaft turns freely but the blade wobbles, tighten the blade nut; replace the fan motor if bearings are worn (grinding noise stops at motor)
