- How to replace a cooling fan, and sometimes temporarily fix the F8E0 error code. Whirlpool gas range model #WEG730H0DS0
Cooling fan and hall sensor - amzn.to/3jBIAtB
I was quoted $500 and a 4 month wait to get my oven repaired but your video saved me! Found the new motor and sensor on Amazon for $130 and got it in 4 days. Thank you for making this video, you truly are a lifesaver. 🙏
Thanks for watching Bryant glad you got it working!!
Just wanted to give a shout out to Apartment Maintenance Pro for posting this video. My hubby and I have a Whirlpool range and the cooling fan went out. We were fortunate to receive the replacement part in about a week. We live remote, so calling a repairman isn't really an option for us. This video really helped us get this part changed out. And frankly, I'm kind of glad this happened because we were forced to pull it out and clean everything up. OBTW, it works just like new! So happy to have my oven back in working order!!
That’s awesome Cynthia glad you guys got it fixed 🙏
Excellent video showing exactly how to repair this error code. I ordered the part from Amazon for $65 and completed the entire repair in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend watching this video if you get error code F8E0. Top notch.
Just moved and previous homeowner couldn't get the whirlpool stove to work so we got a $3000 credit to get a new gas stove. I'm totally going to try this trick and see if it works! Might have gotten a great deal!! I'll try to remember to report back! Thanks for the video man! Seriously these types of videos save real people real money dude!
Thanks for watching Tim!
Thanks so much for the video! I also enjoy the editing and not forcing us to watch each screen being removed. I was gonna call someone to look at my gas stove but this is easy stuff and who wants to pay by the hour for this repair? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO! HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR !
Good work Gerry!!
I wanted to get on here and thank you so much for making this video. You probably saved me $500 or more. I have a Kenmore branded Maytag downdraft radiant heat range that through that code. Luckily for me, your UA-cam video popped up in my search online to figure out what the code was for. After watching the video I decided that it would be easy enough to order the part and do it myself with a little help from my wife. 1 hour and 27 minutes later, we had completed the task and everything worked just like new, so that you very much!
Your welcome! Sorry for the late reply but glad you got it fixed!!
Awesome video! Ordered the fan online for $120 or so and followed your steps and fixed it!
Glad it helped!
Awesome Video! Thank you for sharing it. The range was under warranty so I went with that process. Tech came, diagnosed the issue, then ordered the fan delivered to my home. It arrived on time but service was delayed.
So I put it in myself with your help!!
If this has already been mentioned, my apologies. But the foam seal may not re-stick after removal from the old fan. I used scotch 2-way tape and trimmed it to fit.
Thanks, I noticed this. What is the purpose of the foam seal? I left mine off but I kept it in case I needed to put it back on
@@toddwiseman1421 It’s been some time since I did that job and I don’t entirely remember. Since it’s a fan, it may be to direct airflow more efficiently due to the way the metal fabrication is assembled. Perhaps even suppress vibration. But I think it is the former.
worked like a champ saved me 10-20 minutes compared to the other video I watched way less disassembly keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching mark 👍
Just ordered a replacement fan motor. I'll be referencing this video for sure but it looks straight forward. Thanks for saving me BIG bucks!
Thank you! I wouldn't have known how to do this myself. Not in a million years! Your video was a wonderful guide. Today i am your biggest fan 😊
Fantastic vid. Your step-by-step with no nonsense approach helped me fix my oven today
Thanks!
Pro tip for Canadian Viewers; the Screw heads also fit a Red Robertson, the superior tool choice. Unfortunately, my replacement fan still displays the error code after a brief run. Circuit board looked clean and all connections made. Will investigate more tomorrow, but after seeing the condition and how poorly made this unit is, I'm likely going to junk this Whirlpool POS and upgrade. Thanks for posting a clear and easy to follow video and through examination of the Sensor unit.
Thanks for the comment Jon BP really appreciate it
There is another post where a guy had the same issue and went and cleared the internal codes and it worked fine. I recommend finding the post if you haven’t pitched the stove. It was like pressing cancel 3 times and then 1. I can’t remember exactly and recommend you check his post.
@@mrfrankbosh I kept the unit, and just used a large Toaster oven while I procrastinate buying a replacement. With your recommendation, I found some instructions, but likely not the one you are referring to...I think it has been removed, it was some guy not speaking and confusing everyone by pressing some of the buttons out of camera range.
But I did a control reset and it still failed. But after a 60 sec power cycle and then running the fan test a few times, the fan went from really quiet and undetectable to quite loud. I did test run and the oven heated up to 35F and seems to be fixed. Fan kicks in at 170F, and it got quieter during the oven cool down period and finally stopped after it reached its shutoff temp. I'll open up the unit tomorrow and investigate why the fan is noisy, but I think I'm up and running. Thanks for the prompt...I'll figure out something to do with the $3k I just saved 😁
@@jbp4.0 so the comment was in the comments of this video. To reach the service menu press cancel cancel start….. then use the 3 or the 6 to scroll up or down through the menus. Till you get to the reset. He also had a recommendation to remove the fan and open each end and spray cleaner and then lubricate with a few drops of “3-N-1” oil. Clean the Hall effect sensor (board in the cap) and reassemble. Other people said to make sure to glue the foam rubber seal as it helps with the air flow reading if it is tight to the stove. I have yet to try these things but they sound well sound. I did use the cancel cancel start on my electric stove and it worked like a charm. Best of luck.
Thank you!
I ordered the part from Amazon and my wife and I, I had surgery so I needed help, installed the new part in about an hour. Works great!
That’s awesome! Glad it’s working again :)
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro hi how can i order that part from amazon?
@@carloszepedacuevas9357 Cooling fan and hall sensor - amzn.to/3jBIAtB this is for range model #weg730h0ds0 make sure that the part works with your model
Excellent video! Clear and concise. Helped my husband replace the cooling fan on my whirlpool range. Thank you.
Thank for your service. I was able to order and install the fan with your clear and concise video.
Keep up the good work 🙏🏽
Awesome, thank you!
Video was great! I have a whirlpool/maytag model with an electric range on top. Only extra thing I needed to do was remove all six of the screws from the stove top to allow more workspace without putting any tension on the electrical wiring.
Thanks for watching!
This was a great help. So, I have a different model, but it was similar enough to fix the issue (perhaps temporarily). I removed the side panel on mine instead of lifting the plate with the gas line housing. I filed the plastic around the end of the fan to expose more of the metal (it had been warped over time). One thing I did notice was that the foam that seals the fan vent from the fan was lifting, so there was no longer a full seal. It occurred to me that this may cause the sensor to detect less speed, even though the fan and sensor are working fine. I glued it back, and it appears to have worked. It went up to 450, and no error code.
Nice job Curtis and thanks for the info 👍
Which mode do you have Curtis? I have the electric model.
Thanks for sharing this info. I just removed my motor and found the same thing. I already bought the replacement fan linked above, but my replacement didn't come with the foam. Is the foam necessary? & what kind of adhesive should be used? Wondering if you or Apartment Maintenance Pro has any advice...
Awesome video. Love that you got right to the point. Also, the sound effect of the plug cracks me up each time I hear it. LOL. Nice vid!
Fantastic video. We were able to easily replace the fan motor using the instructions provided in this video. Thanks for posting this guide…it was a huge help!
Glad you got it fixed 👍
I like to use an empty egg carton to keep screws removed in order. Works well for engine rebuilds also. I write on the lid if I need to record additional information.
Nice tip!
Thanks so much for posting this video! Replaced the fan and sensor for a screeching fan motor. Your video saved me lots of time!
Thank you for this video. This happened to my Whirlpool oven and I was able to fix it thanks to you!
Great video, well presented. Thanks for keeping it clear and concise.
I wanted to add my 2 cents that, for me, the RPM of the fan itself wasnt meeting spec. The hall effect sensor was fine but the bronze bushing was dry and no longer had lubrication. You can remove the end cap opposite to the hall effect sensor and, within the cap, there will be a bronze bushing. Clean the bushing out, as well as the male shaft of the fan, lubricate the bushing with a couple dabs of 3-in-1 oil or similar. Also lubricate the bearings closer at the other end, closer to the hall effect sensor. Spin the fan manually several times to work the oil in. Re-assemble and all should be fine. FYI, you can access the service menu on these units by pressing Cancel, Cancel, Start ... then press 3 to cycle through the service menu options. In there you can clear codes and I believe see the RPM of the blower fan.
Really appreciate the response dj, this is great stuff 🤘
Thank You! Thank you! Thank You! I replaced the fan and sensor and it gave me the same damn error code. I was about to give up until I saw your comment about going through the menu. I cleared the error code and it seems to be working now. Thank You!
@@franklogan5136 you're very welcome! Glad I could help!
I have an IKEA (made by Whirlpool) electric range with this same F8E0 error code. Same experience... fan wasn't spinning fast enough, bronze bushing was gummed up. A little cleaning and light machine oil and back in business. I am suspicious that this is the actual source of a lot of these failures and not the hall effect sensor.
@@wesreynolds3572 Hi Wes - Glad you were able to fix it! The code isn't specifically for the sensor being bad... only that the sensor isn't putting out the expected signal. I'm sure for some people the sensor itself is faulty while for others like us, it's simply that the fan wasn't spinning at the expected RPM.
Your fix worked great and your directions are perfect. Thank you very much
Thanks Jamie!!
Thanks for the help!
You're the best Billy Bob. 😜
Thanks for watching Denis!
Thanks for the video. It's very educational and practical.
Great video- very helpful thank you!
I know about the fan sensor the first time this happened so I just cleaned and lubed the fan bushings. It worked for a year or so, but did it again. Luckily we ordered the fan and had it on hand. My granddaughter and her boyfriend Cole wanted to use the oven. I told Cole look on UA-cam and he found your video and saved lots of time. I'm going to clean and lube the old one, but is there a better lub then 3 and 1 oil, it drys out and you are back to replacing the fan? Thank you for your video, God Bless Tommy
Hey! Good tip 👍 most I’ve been able to get out of cleaning those bushings is a few months before it spits the error code out again 😢
I meant to say I didn't know about cleaning the sensor the first time. Sorry, I was born in 1947 when stings were made to last a little longer. I love the new technology, but sometimes it can be inconvenient at times. But thanks to the internet and your videos, life is a little better when things go wrong. Hopefully, the new fan will last longer. Or we'll keep sending our money to China!!
Great video. Saved me hundreds of dollars!
With my stove, simply turning the power off, for at least 1 minute, has the same effect as taking it all apart. The error code goes away and the oven works again. Last time it lasted 6 months. Code back recently, power off and on again, this time it took about 4 times, same thing. Code gone, oven working.
Thanks for the video, I'm waiting for the part to replace it for next time.
Sincere thanks for this! Saved $ and time for sure!
1 year ago I received my first 3 beep error. After finding this video I opened up the electric range and replaced the fan with attached hall sensor. That seemed to fix the issue. Then this year came up again. The fan seemed to be turning on, but the error persisted. Sometimes it would trip at the 170* threshold, sometimes it was at about 250 or 270. I tried cleaning connectors, checking wiring, cleaning the motherboard. I must have reset the breaker 20 times a week. I ordered a new motherboard and replaced it. 2 cycles in and the beeps came back. I was about to give up and order a new oven when I saw a comment on here about properly seating the foam insulator and lubricating the fan. I removed the fan, checked the Hall sensor, which looked clean, lubricated the bearing, and superglued the foam insulation to the fan. I reinstalled, cleared the codes, and havn't seen any errors in the last 5 cycles. I think I might have finally solved the issue. Thankyou so much for your video!
Excellent video...I will try it and report back.
Thanks for watching . Let’s us know!
Thank you my friend! Worked like a charm.
You're welcome!
Best video on the topic!
Thank you column one!!
I replaced my fan using your video and it appears to have worked. I will say, after we use the oven I can hear the fan working and we didn't notice it before. Any ideas there? One hunch I have is that the old fan had a piece of foam attached to it with adhesive and the new one didn't come with that. Maybe that foam reduces the vibration or something? Thanks for the video, could not have replaced it without you!
Fan could be hitting something or not all the way tight
thank you. followed your steps and i was able to replace it! stripped few screws tho by using power drill, but its all good! haha thanks
Awesome :) Glad you were able to swap it out :)
I took mine apart and oiled the bearings and put it back together 4 months no problems. Did have to adjust the fan when reinstalling so it spins freely. It bound when I put it back together and I had to slide the fan shaft to get it to spin freely again. I removed the door - very easy to do - look for a video.
Thank you!!!!!!! Excellent video!
Thanks for watching Roberto!
Very well done, thank you!
Thanks Scott!!
Es obligatorio cambiarlo,, soy de República Dominicana, necesito uno cual sería el precio?
Would this still work for an in the wall unit.
Hello What’s the board called isn’t theytwo boards ? because I’ve replaced the fan motor and the temperature sensor and I’m still showing the error code
It sounds like you've had a lot of experience with this model. Mine has a totally dead display and touchpad. I verified power to the control board inside the stove. Checked all connections (look clean). Tried the control lock and power saver option. No beeps or response.
Any Ideas?
At first, it had the error code, so I followed your video and got that replaced, but now it's all dead.
MIGHT be a fault in the main control board
Dieelectric grease both sides seems make sense maybe litlle lube shaft going motor make any sense?
Cual es la función de este abanico,
What is the part number you ordered?
Is there an easy way I can test the cooling fan at home maybe with a voltmeter?
Hook it up to 120v plug and see if it runs 👍
Or ohm out the windings - tech sheet should tell you what range is good
Do you know where we can buy the adapter wires seperately ? recently bought new motor but the plug is different , The place where i got the part says too bad for me no return on electrical parts
I am not sure :(
Would this work for a range? How would you access the motor?
Every range model is different. This video is for this specific whirlpool range. Sorry if the search gods led you here and this isn't close to your model :( Best way to find out access to your motor is to dig through the tech sheet which is usually located behind the range, you will have to slide it out a few inches to reach it. Hope that helps bud
My machine present an error F 1E0 , do you know what is this ?
Do you have a model number.
Hey look its, Billy Bob Thornton's little brother!
Fosho'
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro LOL right on dude!! IM FOLLOWING!
Billy Bob Thornton runs a appliance repair company?
Yes
😂😂😂
you should send the old fan to bigclive and see if he can figure out why its failing.
So the bottom line.
Bring extra battery. And most definitely extra screws lol
Replaced fan and code came right back. What now?
Sorry I missed this comment. I’ve never had this happen to me. Double check all connections and verify fan is good and not a dud. This check should be written in the service tech manual
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Thank you very much for the response. The problem was me. When I reused the foam seal it didn't stick well and ended up rubbing on the fan. So it ran slow. Super gluing the foam in-place solved the problem. Thx again for the vid and your response.
@@ScottDLR Nice! Glad you figured it out Scott :)
I can see the fans on my oven have failed and stopped spinning. Can I still use the oven for short periods while I wait for the parts to come?
@@wakeupsuper446 The one I worked on would not let the oven run if the fan didn't reach min speed.
If it will run, I wouldn't do it. Fan keeps the electronic display cool and that's an expensive or potentially impossible part to get.
i have a experience for free solution ill do video spa
