Fan Blade Retainer Nut 316136600

This fan blade retainer nut in your oven secures the fan blade onto the motor shaft, preventing it from coming loose during operation. You can typically find it at the back of your oven behind a cover. If you notice that the fan blade becomes wobbly or does not rotate smoothly, or your oven starts to make rattling or scraping sounds, the nut may be damaged. If the fan blade cannot spin properly, your food may cook unevenly. Your oven will also work harder and consume more energy to maintain the desired temperature. To access the nut, you will need to remove the back panel of your oven. Remove any screws or release any clips holding it using a screwdriver. To remove the nut itself, you will need either a wrench or a pair of pliers to loosen it from the motor shaft. The fan blade is sold separately from this genuine OEM nut.
