The Rack is an OEM part for Whirlpool wall ovens. It provides a durable surface for baking and cooking food items. These racks are engineered to maximize capacity while withstanding high heat.

Causes of a bad rack include standard wear and tear from regular cleaning cycles in addition to exposure to grease buildup despite cleaning. Racks support significant weight loads during cooking cycles.

Symptoms of a bad rack include:

• Visible bends, cracks, or detachment of rack elements
• Lack of support leads to spilled/dropped food safety concerns  
• Food or debris lodged in rack imperfections promotes residue buildup
• Compromised rack integrity reduces usable oven space for cooking

The Motor-Fan is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool kitchen ranges. Located within the back wall of the oven cavity, the motor fan works to circulate air and remove excess moisture and smoke during the cooking process. Proper motor-fan functioning helps ensure efficient oven ventilation and performance.

Symptoms of a bad motor fan include:

• Excessive smoke or moisture left in the oven after cooking  
• Oven taking longer to preheat and cook due to poor air circulation
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises emanating from the fan

Causes of failure are normally wear and tear of motor windings or fan blade bearings from years of continuous use. Overheating can potentially reduce lifespan as well. 

This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
