What does this symptom mean?
The fan does not run in fan mode, starts then stops, or produces rubbing and vibration. The symptom alone does not identify a failed part because several causes can produce the same behaviour. Proper diagnosis considers when the fault occurs, appliance model and whether it is constant or intermittent.
Likely causes
1. A programme that does not use the fan
A programme that does not use the fan. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so parts should not be replaced by guesswork.
2. Grease or debris restricting the blade
Grease or debris restricting the blade. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so parts should not be replaced by guesswork.
3. A failed fan motor or capacitor depending on design
A failed fan motor or capacitor depending on design. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so parts should not be replaced by guesswork.
4. A wiring or control-board fault
A wiring or control-board fault. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so parts should not be replaced by guesswork.
Safe checks before booking service
- Check the selected programme symbol in the manual.
- Disconnect power and do not move the blade by hand.
- Observe whether noise appears only when heating starts.
- Record any error message or breaker trip.
How a technician diagnoses the fault
The inspection begins by confirming the reported behaviour and safely testing the affected function. The technician then compares operation with model specifications and measures related components where required. The purpose is to find the root cause rather than replace the first part associated with the symptom.
| Inspection stage | What is checked? |
|---|---|
| Confirm the symptom | Reproduce the fault and identify timing and affected function. |
| External inspection | Assembly, cleanliness, moving parts, ventilation and visible connections. |
| Technical measurements | Test model-specific components related to the fault. |
| Post-repair test | Operate the appliance and confirm safety and stable performance. |

This is a list of possibilities, not a final diagnosis. Any part must match the model number and inspection result because a similar appearance does not guarantee identical dimensions, connections or ratings.
How to reduce repeat faults
- Do not use the oven door as a shelf or apply weight to it.
- Keep airflow paths around the fan and racks unobstructed.
- Clean spills after cooling and keep liquids away from controls.
When to call Glem Gas maintenance
Call when the fault repeats after safe checks, when there is gas odour, abnormal heat or noise, or when access requires dismantling the appliance. Have the model number, symptom and governorate ready.
