Answer

John, The enclosure door switch(upper right corner of oven opening) 71001129 controls the neutral leg of the self clean door latch circuit and has little to no affect on the blower motor. So, are you sure the cooling fan is running, or could it be the door lock motor ? The cooling fan motor is controlled through the oven temp. sensor 12001656and a relay on the control board W10757086 on the back of the range. Based on your post description, best guess would be a degrading relay board, and faulty door switch.
