KitchenAid Range making a loud noise
Is your KitchenAid range making a loud noise, such as oven fan noise, humming, rattling, a burner "whoosh," or a small "boom"? Start with the fan blade, which may be bent, loose, or rubbing against the housing. If the noise occurs when a gas burner lights, a faulty spark ignition switch or spark ignition switch and harness may allow gas to build up before ignition, causing a flash or whoosh. Next, check the fan motor for worn bearings or a damaged blade assembly. A weak oven igniter can also delay gas ignition and create a boom in the oven. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas, it may be too weak to open the valve. For noise during convection cooking, inspect the convection motor for worn bearings, a wobbling shaft, or a fan striking the housing. Disconnect power and shut off the gas before servicing your KitchenAid range. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement fan blade, spark ignition switch, igniter, fan motor, or convection motor for your specific range.

02 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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.
