Oven cooling fan noisy or not running? Signs of a failed tangential motor

A tangential fan is a long, barrel-shaped fan that blows a flat sheet of air. In an oven it draws heat away from the control panel, wiring and door, and often keeps running after cooking until the oven cools. When the motor fails, you might hear grinding, squealing or rattling, notice the fan doesn't run at all, or find the knobs, display and top of the door getting unusually hot. Some ovens protect themselves by cutting out or showing a fault when the cooling fan stops.

Replacing the cooling fan motor

Isolate the oven at the circuit breaker and let it cool fully. Ovens usually have to come out of the cabinet to reach the cooling fan, so on hard-wired units this is a job for a licensed electrician or appliance technician. Photograph the wiring and fan position, transfer the connections across and check the barrel spins freely before reassembling.

Questions about this part

Why does the fan keep running after I turn the oven off?

That's normal on many ovens. The cooling fan keeps going until the inside temperature drops, protecting the controls. If it runs for a very long time or never stops, the problem may be a sensor or control fault rather than the fan motor.
