Re: Fan in microwave oven going out

Well, I have a couple of the covers off. I have the control panel off and I can see the fan. 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.

Usually it's only 4 screws to remove the entire unit on those over range ones. You'll spend a lot less time removing the whole thing to work on it than you will trying to work around it.
