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 assembly 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 fan motor has approximate
resistance values between the following wires:
• Red and Blue: 174
Ω
• Red and Gray: 78
Ω
• Blue and Gray: 96
Ω
