Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the correct replacement part number for the cooling fan motor in my Whirlpool oven?
The part number will depend on your specific model number. Locate your model number (usually inside the oven door) and then search for the cooling fan motor part number using that model number. Online appliance parts retailers or the Whirlpool website are good resources.
•How do I access the cooling fan in my Whirlpool oven?
Typically, you need to remove the rear access panel of the oven. Disconnect power first. The panel is usually held in place by screws, often requiring a 1/4-inch nut driver. The cooling fan is located behind this panel.
•Can a faulty temperature sensor cause an F9 error?
While the F9 error is primarily related to the cooling fan, an excessively high oven temperature due to a faulty temperature sensor could indirectly trigger the error. The control board might activate the cooling fan to try and cool down the oven, and if the fan then fails, the F9 code would appear. Check the oven temperature sensor as well.
