It's actually pretty simple to fix once u figure it out. Pull both cast sides off the stove after the top
Pull the convection ass out has to 3/8 bolts to remove same as sides. Mine had to cut one wire and splice back in. Once unit is out remove Allen set screw on squirrel cage. Separate motor you will need Phillips and torx bit to remove motor from assembly. We're shaft end is the metal plate is a cover that's covers the bearing release ring. drill small hole to the out side somwere. Take a pick pop the metal plate cover off there's a snap ring and couple springwashers behind it. Tap shaft through bearing. Bearings are about 8 bucks on Amazon for a 10 pak part number 608z I went with 608zz better seal. I think with heat on and off dries the grease in bearings over time. I pulled the electrical plug ass off mine you don't have to maybe better leave on little tricky and if ya break it we'll better buy a new one. Reassemble and waa laa!!! Back in bizz also if fan stops working there's a high temp switch under operator panel its a manual reset need push to reset. Have a Blessed day stay warm.
