If your Magic Chef oven fan is not working, start by checking whether the fan blade turns freely by hand. A defective range/stove/oven control board is the first likely cause because it supplies voltage to the fan motor. If the blade turns freely and the motor has electrical continuity, inspect the control board for damaged or shorted components. Next, check the cooling fan, which may need replacement if it has power but will not run or the blade is difficult to turn. For a convection oven fan not working, a failed convection motor can stop air circulation and cause uneven baking. The main control board may also fail to send power, but check the wiring diagram before replacing it. If the problem involves an exhaust fan or blower motor, seized bearings, damaged windings, or a lack of continuity can keep the fan from spinning. These checks help diagnose an oven fan not spinning without replacing good parts. Enter your Magic Chef model number to find the exact cooling fan, convection motor, control board, exhaust fan motor, or blower motor for your range, stove, or oven.
01 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Control Board
An oven's control board sends voltage to nearly all of the oven's electrical components. If the control board is defective, the voltage may not be sent to the fan motor. You should first attempt to rotate the fan blades by hand. If they do not turn freely, it's likely the fan motor bearings have seized and the fan motor will need to be replaced. However, it the fan blades do turn freely and a multimeter shows that the motor itself tests positive for electrical continuity, then the control board is probably at fault. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component and replace if necessary.

The cooling fan runs to help keep the range itself and its critical parts from overheating. The cooling fan is often sold as an assembly. If the fan does not turn freely or has power to it but won't run, it will need to be replaced.
In a convection oven, the convection motor drives the convection fan to circulate the air inside the oven. If the convection fan isn't circulating the air, the oven won't bake evenly. Try turning the convection fan blade by hand. If the blade is hard to turn, this may indicate that the motor bearings are worn. If the motor bearings are worn, you will have to replace the convection motor. To determine if the motor is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the motor does not have continuity, replace it.
04 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board
If the oven fan is not working, the main control board may not be sending power to the fan motor. Check the wiring diagram first before replacing the board. Control boards are often misdiagnosed.
05 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Exhaust Fan Motor
If the exhaust fan motor has power to it but it's not turning, the windings or bearings may be bad. Try turning the fan blade by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, or the motor keeps shutting off when it has power to it, the exhaust fan motor will need to be replaced.
If the blower motor's fan blades or blower wheel do not turn freely by hand, it's likely the motor bearings have seized and the blower motor will need to be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to determine if the motor has electrical continuity. If the motor has no electrical continuity, the part is definitely defective.
