This control cooling fan assembly circulates air through the oven's control compartment to remove heat. By keeping the console and electronics cool during and after cooking, it helps prevent overheating and protects sensitive components.
- Moves air across the control area to dissipate heat from the board, wiring, and trim
- Runs during/after bake or broil to maintain safe cabinet temperatures
- Typical failure signs: fan doesn't run, loud vibration/squeal, control area feels very hot, or heat-related shutdowns
- Purpose-built for the control compartment; distinct from the convection fan inside the oven cavity
What's included: 1 control cooling fan assembly Install notes:
- Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool; wear cut-resistant gloves
- Access is typically from the rear or top; remove panels/guards per your model's service information
- Transfer any required brackets or ducts; secure so the wheel spins freely with no rubbing
- Reconnect wiring as originally routed, keeping harnesses clear of the blade; test operation before reassembly

GE profile in wall oven gave F 9 code and would shut off after 30 minutes Matthew M. • Fairfield , CA • July 23, 2018
The F9 error code is supposed to indicate that the door lock mechanism has failed. My oven would give the F9 code and turn off during normal baking at 400 F after about 30-40 minutes. It turns out that GE must have programmed the error codes incorrectly in my model, because the real problem was that my control board cooling fan was no longer functional, and one of the two thermal switches was shutting off the unit when the control board area got too hot.
