Ge WB26X31060 Fan Blower OEM Part

I had to take the top panels off and two back panels off. Took off about thirty screws. It was very dirty and dusty inside so I took the lower panels off as well to clean and vacuum it. The hardest part was getting the double oven out of the cabinet. Overall it was very doable.

To replace the cooling fan which is located on the upper back left of the oven, it required removing the oven and 3 metal panels. To remove the oven the best way was to remove the oven doors first which will reduce the weight significantly. Once I did this it was much easier to left the oven by myself and move on a self made stand. After the removal of the metal panels there were 4 screws to remove the metal plate holding the fan to oven, 2 electrical plugs, and then another 4 screws to remove the fan from the metal plate. After a little cleaning to remove some grease and replacing the fan (also replaced the Hall Effect module but I don't think this was bad), it was easy to put back into the oven reversing the process. Also please remember to remove power during this process.

Removed oven from cabinet, removed fan assembly and re installed.

I received the new fan blower the next day. Shut off the power and pulled out the oven. I removed a lot of screws to get at the old fan blower. I replaced the blower, reassembled the oven and slid it back in.

I Googled the error code and found out it was most likely the fan blower. I shopped and found one at AppliancePartsPros. I ordered it and got it two days later. I found a good YouTube video for changing out the blower. I fillowed it and changed out the blower without a hitch. I removed the oven doors to lighten it prior to removing. I did it myself but it is a two person job without an oven dolly. It now works like a champ!
