The fan doesn't turn on. Checked the fuses and they are OK. Possibly the fan motor? Any easy way to check it without taking the whole thing apart? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does the door open and the fan not turn on? If the door opens but no fan, check for voltage, continuity at the motor etc. If the door stays closed you have a different problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. It turns out it was a blown fuse around the back of the instrument. At least I hope it is as simple as that.
