The convection fan is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It functions as the convection fan system, circulating hot air within the oven cavity to provide efficient all-around heating.
The convection fan is responsible for proper air circulation and temperature distribution during convection bake and roast cycles. It allows for fast, even cooking on multiple racks simultaneously.
Symptoms of a bad convection fan include:
- Inefficient or uneven baking/cooking results
- Longer than normal cook times
- Overheating or hot spots within the oven
- Strange noises coming from the convection fan area
Causes can include a failed motor, worn fan blades, or blockages that disrupt airflow.
This Whirlpool OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore ranges.
