Convection Fan Not Running

Possible Solution

Was the door opened?

The convection fan will stop/turn off when the door is opened. 

Was a Convection Cycle selected?

If a non-convection cycle was selected (i.e., bake), the fan would not run for most of the cycle.  Ensure a convection cycle is selected. 

It is normal for the convection fan in your oven or range to run during non-convection cycles. Any gas/electric freestanding range or wall oven with convection may run during preheating or when using non-convection functions. This helps optimize preheat times, provide uniform oven temperature, and improve baking and cooking performance.

When does the convection fan run?

Normal operation for the convection fan includes: 

  • Operating during preheat for both non-convection and convection functions.
  • During preheat or when the convection cycle is selected, the convection fan will come on:
    • Immediately for all electric convection models.
    • After approximately five(5) minutes for all gas convection models.
