Actually it takes less time to heat up and cook with the fan running
That is why it is called a fan forced oven as the fan forces the hot air all around the oven , heating it quicker and giving a better cooking result by moving hot air all around what is being cooked

    But after having this oven for 8 years, why would the fan suddenly start running when turned on, never has done that in the past. Anyone know? Time to call a repair man?

Has anyone done any repairs to the oven lately? It sounds like it's working in reverse. The fan is supposed to come on about 10 minutes after the oven is turned on. The reason I ask this question is if someone did work on it they could have wired the fan relay wrong. If not you have a problem with the oven fan relay. They occasionally short and it wll cause them to run the opposite way they are supposed to.

SOURCE: Oven fan keeps running even after off and door open

3 to 4 hours is a long time. Get to the fans (behind the control panel) and check the screens for dust. Chances are the screens are clogged with dust and need to be cleaned so the fans can move air for cooling better. I had this problem on my GE JTP14, and after cleaning just one fan it can keep up with cooling the electronic area while the oven is running. It runs much less often.

Safety first! cut the breaker before removing anything with a nice conductive screwdriver! Hope this helps!

Why does the fan on my oven keep running after I have turned it off? It is GE Electric Wall Oven.

A lot of electric fan ovens run the fan until the oven cools. This ventilated the cavity.

What is causing my ge single wall oven with built-in microwave oven not heating, only the fan runs?

Is it the microwave or the oven that is not heating? If the microwave is not heating it is more tan likely the magnetron. If the oven is not heating it could be the element or the control board.

I used the oven in the house we just purchased (a GE wall oven JTP18 and after I turned it off a fan kept running. Is that normal?

Yes, the program and thermostat calls for the fan to cool the electronics, without that you can loose the electronic boards. Normally the fans will shut off once temps drop to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Enjoy your new home.

GE Profile Convection Problem

with GE
SHORTED OVEN SENSOR CIRCUIT
if your comfortable taking the range out of the box, it is a pretty easy repair. The oven sensor is a small tube in the range that "sences" temp.
although it could be the erc, its more than likely the sonsor itself.
it is on the back wall and has to be unplugged from the back to be removed
there are two screws that hold it on the back wall
put the new one in and you should be ready to go
goto appliancepartspros.com
type in your modle number and look in the cavity section
your looking for the oven sensor
they usually run around 20-30 dollars

Bottom oven doesn't heat after running self-clean cycle

Usually, when an oven won't heat, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.
