Convection Fan Assembly
The convection fan assembly is located on the
back wall of the oven cavity and consists of the
convection cover, fan blade, and motor. The fan
motor utilizes a capacitor that can be accessed
from the back of the range. (See Component Locator
Views.) The convection fan blade can be removed
from inside the oven. The convection fan motor can
be removed from the back of the range.
The convection fan operates during the following
modes:
Preheat•
Convection Bake•
Convection Roast•
The convection fan will turn on after a short delay.
The fan may cycle on and off, and change direction
in any of these modes, to best distribute hot air in
the oven. The convection fan shuts off when the
door is opened.
The convection element is located on the upper
oven back wall and can be removed from inside the
oven cavity.
The element is rated at 1200 watts, has an
approximate resistance value of 12 Ω, and draws
approximately 10 amps.
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
Convection Bake - Single Rack preheats with
bake element and broil element operating (cycling)
alternately. Heat maintained with bake element.
Fan alternates CW and CCW rotation.

Cooling Blower
The two-speed cooling blower is located on the rear
of the range. Air is pulled in by the blower blades
through slots below the control panel and circulated
in the space below the component compartment
and above the top of the oven liner. The air is
exhausted through the right side of the oven vent
trim.
Low speed is used for cooking functions and high
speed is used only in the self-clean mode. The
blower is operated by the ERC (a function of oven
temperature), when cooling timing parameters are
met. Blower speed is determined by the position of
door latch switch #3. (See Door Lock Assembly.)
Cooling Timing Parameters
The cooling blower will not turn on immediately
when a cooking function is set. IT WILL TURN
ON WHEN THE OVEN TEMPERATURE REACHES
APPROXIMATELY 450°F. If the oven is turned off and
the blower is running, the blower will remain on until
the oven temperature drops to below 300°F.
Cooling blower motor approximate resistance
values:
Low speed (C to L) = 20 • Ω
High Speed (C to H) = 24 • Ω
To remove the cooling blower, it is necessary to
remove the rangetop (See
Rangetop.), and rear
panel. The cooling blower assembly is attached with
six 1/4-in. hex-head screws.
