Cooling Fan
The Café models use a single squirrel cage cooling
fan in the right rear corner of the cooktop. Air is
pulled in by the fan blades and circulated in the
component compartment located under the burner
box. The air is exhausted thru louvers below the
control panel and out slots above the door.
During cooking modes, the cooling fan turns
on when the sensor in the oven cavity senses a
temperature over 350°F (177°C). It turns off when
the cooking mode is canceled and the oven drops
below 250°F (121°C). During cleaning modes, the fan
turns on when the doors and cooktop gas lockout
valve lock. It turns off when the sensor drops below
175°F (79°C).
The cooling fan can be checked by removing the
oven vent trim. (See
Cooktop
, step 5.) It has an
approximate resistance value of 24
.
To remove the cooling fan:
1. Remove the cooktop. (See
Cooktop

2. Disconnect the 3 wires from the fan motor and
the wire clip.
3. Remove the six 1/4-in. hex-head screws and the
