The convection fan which blows warm air in the room sounds like it is laboring. I took it out, hooked it up to electric, and it works fine. What could be the problem? Thanks, Steve

Did you clean and oil it? Oil should help greatly! Use the 3 in 1 blue can for motors. The red can is too light!

Can you check the amp draw?
Maybe with the lower voltage from the control on lower speeds. Try it on high speed. As a motor gets older it tends to weaken and thats were you usually see the issue is at lower voltage settings. Full load might be OK sounding but will draw more than the rated amps. The extra heat from the stove could help that too!
Might just be tired? (in english)

Feeling the Heat
Could be a Control Board. I have some older board that work fine but the fan runs
slow, replaced the board and the stove works fine. Find someone near you with a
good control board and try theirs in your stove just to be sure.
