Customer Questions and Answers for Cooling Blower Kit by Whirlpool

Hello Nancy. We offer parts and do not sell appliances. You will need to talk to the different manufactures about this issue. Thanks.

Hello Beth. No, it does not matter on the blower WP4455334.

John, No there is little to No "danger" using the oven without the cooling fan operational, It may even work long enough to cook a turkey. I would expect the control panel and control board to get "hot" and in that case, the control may shut down and go blank, or produce an error code. You will need to check for 120 VAC to the cooling fan motor when yopu program a bake or broil cycle. If the voltage is present, the control board is OK, and you need the blower assembly WP4455334, if no voltage is present, you'll need the control board WPW10340935.

Hello Amy. This design fan gave Whirlpool an issue, thus the kit WP4455334. It has been changed to resolve the problem so if you install the kit, the issue shouldn't reoccur. Have a great day!

Hi Lou. Unfortunately the upper oven convection fan cover bolts will come loose and cause the cover to rattle. Remove the racks and door and check this first. If this is not it, check the fan blade nut and see if it is tight. The nut is part # WP4452227. If the fan blade got bent, it is part # WP4452226. Now concentrate on the blower fan issue. You need to remove te power and support the unit on a couple of chairs or solid stands. You will need to remove the top cover and see if that fan is making noise as you freely spin it. As if the bearings are bad or a blade is bent. The upper fan assy. comes with a kit that helps isolate the vibrations. It comes w/instructions. Then have someone help support the unit and lean the unit on its back to see if the bottom is bent up into the fan. It is common that during an install it is unknown that the fan is at the bottom. The unit by nature is very heavy and gets accidentally set down just hard enough to induce a issue. If not immediate, it will show up in the future. The bottom fan is part # WPW10016550. Thank You.

Hello Roy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board WP8302994 is bad and will need to be replaced. This will also keep the fan from running. Hope this helps.

Hello Becky. Based on the ohms reading, it sounds like the fan kit WP4455334 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Hello Becky. You will need to test and see if there is power coming to the fan motor with the oven turned on for a few minutes. If so, and the motor does not run, replace the cooling motor WP4455334. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

G. Yes the blower kit does come with instruction information( for the replacement part). To access the blower assembly, you will need to remove the oven from the cabinet, remove the back panel, perform the repair and re install the oven in the wall. It's not all that hard to do. Thanks and Good Luck.

Hello Mike. WP4455334 is everything you will need to replace the cooling blower fan. Hope this helps.
