Well, I tried another test. I taped a piece of tissue paper to the air inlet into the cooking area and ran the unit. The airflow is simultaneous with the fan noise (which has been slow to activate and not as loud). So it is the fan and I need to lube it and the unit must come off the wall to do it. Bummer.

I just took a chance and started the oven for 2 seconds with the panel off. The fan looks like it's turning just fine. Maybe it is the stirer.

It's in the back and not accessable without removing the entire unit (it's a GE, over the stove type). I'd like to verify if the cooling fan is not turning (it's been very quiet lately). I also took off the bottom panel to reveal a small cover which I also removed revealing the stiring motor. This oven still cooks evenly so I guess the stirer is Ok? Can I run the oven to check the fan with the control panel off? Is that safe? I can see the magnetron housing in front of the fan. It seems to be ducted under the bottom to the stirer.
