This tangential cooling fan moves a wide stream of air across the oven cavity and control area to remove excess heat. Replacing a weak or noisy blower restores proper cooling to help protect control electronics and surrounding surfaces.
- Circulates cooling air to dissipate heat from the oven and control panel
- Operates during and after bake/broil/self-clean to keep temperatures in check
- Helps prevent over-temperature shutdowns and protects internal components
- Common symptoms: fan won't run, runs loudly or vibrates, weak airflow; control area feels too hot; oven may shut off early or display a cooling fan/over-temp error
What's included: 1 tangential blower assembly Install notes:
- Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
- Access location varies by model (often behind the control/top trim or rear cover)
- Note wire positions and mounting orientation; transfer any brackets as needed and reuse original hardware
- Watch for sharp metal edges; verify smooth, quiet fan operation before reassembly
