Convection fan stopped working on our 10 year old oven. I did some quick research, and figured it was likely the motor burned out.
I took it apart and tested the motor by hooking it up to 120V. Surprisingly it spun right up. So I cleaned it up (plenty of soot from gas oven), reinstalled and it's magically working again. Not sure how long I'll get out of it, but we'll see.
I did nothing that should have fixed it, but it's working. I've had this experience many times where something like this is broken. I take it apart, clean it, poke it, prod it, etc. Put it all back together and it's working again. I guess it could be a loose connection...
Anyone else fix stuff with this procedure and wonder what was wrong in the first place?
Weird, but good. Yeah must have been a loose or fouled up connection somewhere.
