Roper Range making a loud noise

Is your Roper range making a loud noise? The source may be a rubbing fan, an ignition problem, or a failing motor. Start by inspecting the range fan blade, which may be bent, damaged, or sliding on its shaft and rubbing against the housing. If you hear a burner "whoosh," a faulty spark ignition switch is a likely cause because gas may build up before lighting. Test the spark ignition switch, or the spark ignition switch and harness assembly, for electrical continuity with a multimeter. A worn range fan motor can also cause oven fan noise when its bearings fail or the blade or blower is damaged. If the noise is a small "boom" from the oven, a weak oven igniter may be delaying ignition. An igniter that glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas may need replacement. Finally, a failing convection motor can rattle or allow the convection fan to strike the housing. These issues can make your Roper oven making noise, range making noise, or oven fan making noise. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Roper range.

01 - Roper 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 - Roper 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 - Roper 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 - Roper 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 - Roper 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 - Roper 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.
