The fan in the GE Profile wall oven is not spinning.

If the fan isn't spinning, it's a sign of trouble.The fan in the range is used for two purposes.The first thing to do is to circulate hot air quickly around the food in the oven, shortening cooking time and maintaining even cooking temperatures.Once a cook or clean cycle is complete, the oven needs to be cooled.Its spinning operation is preprogrammed into the oven controls and is triggered to run or cease running, based on what is happening with the range at any given time, which maximizes efficiency and limits the owner's control over fan function.

The fan is connected to various oven controls and regulators, sometimes seeming to have its own mind.GE says that common causes of concern around fan operation are triggered features.Before the fan starts spinning, you should allow the oven to come completely up to the programmed temperature.The oven will emit three short noises.If the fan does not switch on once the oven reaches the programmed heat, or never turns on, it could be a problem.

When the oven door is opened, the fan will disengage.Look through the oven window to see if the fan blades are spinning.Don't open the oven door during a cycle to keep the fan running.When you open the door, you'll lose heat and the fan will stop spinning.

The fans won't always spin during the cook cycle.It is normal to hear the fan cycle on and off during the cooking settings.The mounting screws may come loose, the fan blade may be warped, or the ball bearings may have seized up.The fan components may need to be repaired or replaced.

The fan will run for up to one and a half hours after the oven controls have been turned off as part of the cool down.If the oven feels cool to the touch, turn off the power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds to reset the electronic controls and stop the fan.If this continues, it's a good idea to call a service technician.

GE has electronic controls and digital read-out displays.Errors can be displayed on the display if the oven is malfunctioning or the controls are malfunctioning.The GE oven product line and model have different error codes.The manual for your oven or GE's website has specific code translations.
