Range making a loud noise
A range making a loud noise usually has a problem with the fan blade, spark ignition system, or fan motor. If you hear oven fan noise, inspect the fan blade first. A bent blade can slide on the shaft and rub against the housing, creating a scraping or rattling sound. A loud "whoosh" from a gas burner may mean the gas is not igniting correctly because of an intermittent spark ignition switch or a faulty spark ignition switch and harness. Test the switch for electrical continuity with a multimeter, and stop using the range if you smell unburned gas. A worn fan motor can also make noise when its bearings fail or when the blade or blower is damaged. If the oven produces a small boom or whoosh, a weak oven igniter may be allowing gas to build up before ignition. A convection motor with bad bearings, a wobbling shaft, or a fan striking the housing can cause a noisy convection oven. Inspect and test the suspected part, then replace it as needed. Enter your range model number to find the exact replacement fan blade, spark ignition switch, igniter, fan motor, or convection motor for your appliance.
01 - Range/Stove/Oven Fan Blade
The fan blade may be bent or sliding on the shaft and rubbing on the housing. Inspect the fan blade. If the fan blade is bent or damaged it will need to be replaced.

02 - Range/Stove/Oven Spark Ignition Switch
If the gas is not lighting correctly, it can build up and flash, causing a “whoosh” noise on the burner. This can potentially be caused by a faulty spark ignition switch only working intermittently. You can use a multimeter to test the spark ignition switch or switches for electrical continuity to determine if the component is functioning normally.

03 - Range/Stove/Oven Spark Ignition Switch and Harness
If the gas is not lighting correctly, it can build up and flash, causing a “whoosh” noise on the burner. This can potentially be caused by a faulty spark ignition switch and harness only working intermittently. You can use a multimeter to test the spark ignition switches for electrical continuity to determine if the assembly is functioning normally.

04 - Range/Stove/Oven Fan Motor
The fan motor turns the fan blade to circulate the air. The fan motor is often sold as an assembly. If the fan motor bearings are bad, or the fan blade or blower is damaged, the fan motor will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - Range/Stove/Oven Igniter
If the gas is not being ignited promptly, it can build up and flash causing a small "boom" noise in the oven or a "whoosh" noise on the burner. A faulty igniter could be the cause of the gas not igniting promptly. To determine if the igniter is defective, observe the igniter when the oven is on. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without igniting the gas flame, this indicates that the igniter is too weak to open the valve. If the igniter is weak, replace it. If the igniter does not glow at all, use a multimeter to test the igniter for continuity. If the igniter does not have continuity, replace it.
Highly Likely
06 - Range/Stove/Oven Convection Motor
The convection motor drives the convection fan to circulate the air inside the oven. The convection oven must circulate the air for the oven to heat evenly. If the motor bearings are bad the motor may rattle or the fan may hit the housing. If the convection fan motor shaft wobbles, or the motor is making a loud noise, replace the convection motor.
