Most oven noises come from the fan or its motor. The type of noise can help diagnose the fault.
Grinding or Scraping Noise
Usually means the fan blade is hitting something — either the fan has come loose, the blade is warped, or debris has fallen in. Sometimes this can be resolved by cleaning. If the blade or motor is damaged, replacement is needed. Cost: £90–£150.
High-Pitched Whining or Squealing
Typically indicates worn fan motor bearings. The motor will likely fail soon — best to replace before it does. Cost: £90–£150.
Rattling Noise
Often caused by a loose component such as a screw, oven rack or the fan cover. Check these first before calling an engineer.
Clicking Noise (Gas Ovens)
A constant clicking on a gas oven usually means a wet or faulty igniter. Dry or replace the igniter. Cost: £80–£140.
