Customer Questions and Answers for Cooling Fan by Ge

This cooling fan circulates air through the oven's control compartment and vent path to keep electronics and surrounding surfaces at safe temperatures during and after cooking. Replacing a failing fan helps prevent overheating, shutdowns, and error messages. What it does:

• Draws cooling air across the control area and out the vent to manage internal temperatures
• Protects control boards, wiring, and trim from heat buildup
• Typically runs during use and continues after the oven is turned off to remove residual heat
• Common symptoms of failure: fan not running, slow or intermittent operation, loud squealing/grinding, control panel area becoming excessively hot, or cooling-fan-related error codes/shutdowns

• 1 cooling fan

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Access location varies by model (often behind the rear cover or upper panel)
• Note wire positions and fan rotation/airflow direction; transfer any mounting brackets or seals from the original part if required
• After installation, ensure the fan spins freely and verify airflow at the vent during operation
