Customer Questions and Answers for Cooling Fan Assembly (Control) by Ge

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

• 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
