The fan control switch is the panel-mounted switch that sends power to the appliance's fan motor. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable on/off control and proper airflow so the fan starts and stops when it should.

  • Provides user-operated on/off power to the fan/blower motor
  • Helps regulate airflow for cooling, venting, or convection depending on model
  • Typical symptoms: fan won't run, runs continuously, intermittent operation, or a loose/broken switch shaft
  • Mounts behind the control panel and is actuated by the exterior knob/lever
What's included: One fan control switch Install notes:
  • Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
  • Remove the control knob/actuator and panel trim to access the switch
  • Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer wires one at a time to the new switch
  • Secure with the original hardware, restore power, and test operation

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Fan Control Switch (Part Number: OEM18033351)

Jeff for Model Number JED8430ADB

I have a shorted Solid State Control (Manufacturer ABB, Part #PHS120A-4210) evidently no longer made for our Jenn-Air cooktop w/ center downdraft SN 19137792EL. I bought a new blower speed control, but found the blower fan is on continuously, even without any speed control in the circuit. As the ABB SSAC unit evidently cannot be replaced, would you think I could disconnect the black power lead and the black blower lead from the shorted SSAC unit, then connect them to the two blades of the speed control -- i.e., just don't use the SSAC unit in the circuit at all? Many thanks.

Rich, To remove the control panel remove the cartridge and there will be a couple screws on the edge of the opening that you can remove and this will allow the control panel to be lifted up and out to replace the fan control.

Ray, The fan switch would be the most likely cause for the fan to not run on high speed.

Erik, To replace the switch you will need to pull the unit out from installation. Remove the screws from the vent area that hold the vent in place and remove the screws around the perimeter that holds the glass. This will give you access to the fan switch to replace it. The fan switch would just get unplugged and new one would plug in then reinstall.

Hello Ray, Dis-connect power to the unit and remove the old switch. The black wire that leads to the black on the terminal block, (power supply connection), goes on one side of the switch and the black wire that goes to the fan motor goes on the other side of the switch. The remaining wires can be cut and terminated. The manufacturer expects that the old wires be removed from the unit, but as long as they cannot touch any other wiring, they can remain.
