Convec Oven Noise 2018 Rpod 171

When we took delivery, the oven (only when plugged into shore power) has a light buzzing noise. (Like a little fan is going inside. You can faintly here it with the door closed, it is clear with the door open and your head in there.
I spoke with Forest River and they said that is not right.

So I had the oven replaced under warranty.

AND GUESS WHAT! Still got the noise!

Could it be something else, like none clean power?

	clickscrazy, Saw you have made couple posts reference GCFI, did you reset and did that fix blinking test light? If so did that have any effect on your oven noise? They could be a combined issue, but best to know if anything can be changed or if not. Pretty obvious it is not the oven. What are you connected to?

	Could it be the converter fan charging your battery.

	I have not tried resetting GCFI yet. I am connect to a 30Amp RV outlet at my home (on its own breaker). I believe it has the noise when plugged into campsites too. The noise happens regardless of if the converter is running or not.

	Ok. I just went out there. GCFI seems to have stopped blinking red on its own (I guess it was doing a self test). Nothing else running (no ac, fridge, converter). Still faint noise inside the oven. It must just be normal, maybe there is a little fan that runs in there all the time.

	I don't think so. Mine makes no noise. Did you reset the GCFI to see what happens? You can tell difference in space from converter fan and anything associated with oven.

	Unless you threw the breaker for the converter, it will be running when connected to shore power.

	Ours has a fan that runs to cool the oven down after use. The rest of the time it is silent.

	Let me clarify a few things that might help. I did not rest the gcfi, but will try that. The noise is faint but there for sure coming from the inside of the oven. Open door stick your head in, buzzing. Unplugging the oven makes the noise stop. The converter fan runs when first plugging into shore power, then the fan turns off.
