Whirlpool W11107275 Fan Blower OEM Part

After researching the problem, I ordered a new cooling fan. My "fix-it" guy winds up in the ICU for 3 weeks! So...YouTube here I come. It appeared pretty simple in video form, except the video wasn't of my stove. All in all, what looked like no more than a 6 screw removal, turned into tearing 1/2 the stove apart. Still, only took about 2 hours start to finish. Best lesson learned, turn off the energy efficiency mode!!!

The cooling fan is located under the burners but I saw an excellent video on You Tube repairing a Whirlpool range. That helped a lot. Plus I googled and saw the sequence to get into diagnostic mode and clear the faults.

After researching the problem, reading the reviews here and watching a Youtube video, I decided to tackle this repair myself. In order to replace the cooling fan you have to take most of the oven apart including removing the burners/stove/cooktop and control panel. However, this is easily accomplished using a screwdriver to take off most of the parts. For the gas version I needed a 13mm wrench to loosen the nuts on the connections from the gas tubes and control knobs. While it was a simple process, it did take me about 2 hours from start to finish with the number of parts and being careful to test for gas leaks and with the electronic components. I would highly recommended doing this replacement first before calling appliance repair pro. Be sure to unplug the oven and turn off the gas before starting.

Watched a YouTube video and DIY.

Ordered new fan from APP. Got a guy from Craigslist to install it. Total cost was less than half what an appliance repair service estimated.
