This blower motor, also known as the fan blower is supplied directly by the manufacturer for use in ovens. It is responsible for circulating hot air within the oven cavity. The blower motor helps distribute heat evenly, ensuring consistent cooking temperatures and reducing hot spots. This helps to ensure that your baking, roasting, and other cooking processes run smoothly. The blower motor is typically located behind the rear panel of the oven. If the blower motor is faulty, you may notice uneven cooking, unusual noises like rattling or squealing, and error codes. This part is commonly associated with the F96 error code.

Wrong Part
It was not the correct part. I checked the model number again to make usre it was not my mistake but it came up with the part number that was shipped to me which was not the right part (smaller). I sent an email to customer service and got no response. I had to order for another website.

Part works great but wrong connector
Part came quickly and well packaged however after removing the original fan blower it had a different connector on it. Ended up having to cut connector off and splice old connector onto new part. Not difficult just an annoying added step. Works great now tho. Would be 5 starts if i didn't have to cut the wires and connect old connector.

Code F97 GE Monogram Dbl oven
My oven continued showing code F97 when we tried to use it. It would clear sometimes in a minute or 10 min. After some research, I figured it had something to do with the upper and lower cooling fans or the associated circuit boards. These fans send a signal (2.5volts I think) back to the main board identifying they are running correctly
... Read more(fast enough). If the fans fail to get to required speed, CODE F97 appears. So, purchased both upper and lower fan units along with the corresponding circuit boards and decided to get it a shot. For a $8K oven, I had to try something.
You have to replace the items from the rear. Oven is 360+ lbs., So I purchased a lift from Harbor Freight to support the oven when I pulled it out. Once on the lift and the rear exposed, job was fairly easy.
Just remove the top and rear upper and lower panels, access the fans (circuit boards are attached to the fan housings) and replace with new. 1 hour tops for the entire job. My fans were working, but grease and dust had accumulated on the fins which I fell was my problem. Also, spinning them by hand compared to the new fans showed some drag on the old fans. It could have been a faulty circuit board, but I think it was the fans. The lift is a game changer and really makes this job not too bad.
It's been a week since repair, no F97!!! Ovens works great again!!
Removed oven from kitchen cabinet. Used a mover's dolly and made a wooden box from 2x10 boards to set unit on after removal. This allowed me to not disconnect the wiring from inside the cabinet. Off course, the power was off at the breaker box. Started removing oven panel pieces/covers from the top and replaced the lower fan first. W
... Read moreas a little tricky disconnecting the power clip. Replaced the blower, there is no ground wire as the blower is all metal and is attached to a plate that is metal and would be grounded to the unit itself. Went ahead and replaced the top blower as the unit was removed from the wall cabinet and the fan was exposed, why not, it was only $79. Top fan does have a ground wire. Turned the power on and tested unit, worked with no error code.
Replaced all of the covers. One note. I would suggest taking a couple of photos during the removal. I did not, and one piece seemed out of place, but I did figure out where it went on the unit. Saved $$$ doing it myself. Wish I had recorded for a You Tube video. Also, remember to remove and reuse the board sensor if you didn't buy a new one.
taking the oven out of the wall the most difficult part.. once you removing the sheet metal screws....be sure to take pictures as you dis-assemble putting back together will be easier. wait for correct part. second try they sent the correct part. put back together, test before putting back into wall.. big savings by doing it yourself.

Error code F96
Very straight forward repair except for removal of the fan mount plate.

These screws are beneath the motor assembly and oriented with the heads between the mounting plate and the to

On reassembly, these screws were reversed so that the head is now on the top of the plate and more accessible.
TERRIBLE!!!!!!! FIrst part arrived broken Second part arrived broken Third part arrived broken Finally on the 4th try, the part arrived and was not broken. I will NEVER again order parts from this company.

Blower Fan quit working
It took a while to remove approx 30 screws to get to the blower. So my oven was sitting, torn apart while I waited on the new blower fan that I had ordered. It arrived shortly, about 5 days. When I opened the box I saw that PARTSELECT had sent me a drain pump instead of the blower fan that I had ordered. Since an oven does not require a d
... Read morerain pump and it wouldn't work to replace my broken blower fan I had to return it. I was told that I needed to send the part back in order to get a refund. After I sent their drain pump back at a cost of $13 they emailed me and said I didn't need to send the drain pump back. And they refunded me minus shipping So I had to pay shipping both ways for a part that was wrong. And I ordered it from someone else. I put the new blower fan that I had bought from another company in and replaced the 30 screws. And the oven has been working fine ever since. Thank you PARTSELECT for allowing me to tell people how you operate. They have a money back guarantee, but they don't give you back ALL your money. Thanks Again.

My new upper cooling fan for GE oven model #jt3500sf3ss arrived and i noticed it doesn’t have a sensor board. Was it supposed to come with one? I noticed that this cooling fan replaces the original. Does the new version not require a sensor? Thanks.
Hi Ian,
Thank you for your question. The board sensor fan is sold separately from the blower. The part number listed under your model number for the board sensor fan is PS8754576. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

i have a code showing F97 - is that for the lower or upper cooling fan replacement and do i need any other parts to repair ?
For model number jk5500sf6ss
Hi Steven,
Thank you for your question. The F97 error code is letting you know that there is an issue with the lower cooling fan. The problem with fan may be caused by the fan motor, the wiring or the sensor that tells it when to turn on and off. You will need to inspect these parts to see which one is causing the issue. Once you have determined which part you need, and you would like to place an order for it, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
F96 error, could it be just the sensor and not the fan. How to tell. Thanks
Hello William, thank you for writing. For us to locate the correct parts and repair information we will require the model number of the unit. On our site, one testimonial confirms that Fan part PS12702967 did fix the issue. " Changed Fan Blower only, which cleared the Error Code F96." If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
