Bought in April 2010 on sale, installed in June 2010. Replaced cooling fan in November of 2010 (under warranty) Cooling fan is again making a whistling noise when heating up and cooling off. Sounds like a police car in the distance. What are my options? How long will it last when it starts to whistle? Why is it whistling?
These types of ovens are complex to troubleshoot and repair. I would contact an appliance tech.
SOURCE: Display reads U60 Cooling Fan - oven won't heat
The code is telling you that the oven has sensed a fault in the coling fan circuit of the upper oven. Dacor has had a few problems with the cooling fans in these new ovens since theyve been out, so most likely you will have a bad fan motor. If that is the case, be prepared to have the repair person have to pull the oven out of the wall to get to it and change it. If its a realy board problem (less likely) than that can be changed from the front. Call up Dacor and find an authorized servicer in your area since it will still be under warranty. Good Luck!
SOURCE: zanuisi top oven making noise
Yes , there is a cooling fan located at the top of the oven
It could be the fan blades catching, or a noisy fan bearing.
You would have to access it by removing the top oven cover to check., and yes it could be as a result of having it cleaned.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
SOURCE: cooling and/or convection fan
I had the same problem. The screen protecting the fan bends into the fan from the heat. Take off the top front control panel (3 screws), reach in to the back where the fan is and push the screen back away from the fan. As always, turn the power off first to avoid shock. This should solve your noise problem.

If it is a fan assisted oven, then you are likely to have 2 fans, an external cooling fan, and a fan inside the oven for ciculating the hot air.
So to answer your query, yes it is a noisy fan you are going to have to establish which fan.
It could be a worn bearing, or the fan blade has come loose.
If it is a worn bearing, thge only cure is a new fan.
Hope this helps with your problem.
Testimonial: "Thank you for that. It's noisy even when the fan inside the oven isn't running (ie, just on convection) so guess that means it's the external fan?"
SOURCE: My AEG competence oven is
I would suspect that the problem is caused by the external cooling fan located under the outside cooker cabinet housing, which continues to operate as the oven is cooling down if it is built in, you will have to remove it from the oven housing to access the fan

Is this cooling fan a defective product? (2 in 1 year) or is this oven have a known issue that should be fixed by the manufacturer? Is this something I can replace myself rather than paying $75 for Sears to come out plus the cost of the repair?
Troubleshooting is not an issue here...I know it is the cooling fan since this is the exact same thing Sears replace (under warranty) a year before. Is this something i can do myself? I know I will have to take the oven out to get to it.
