GE Range making a loud noise
When your GE range is making a loud noise, start by inspecting the fan blade. A bent or damaged blade can slide on the shaft and rub against the housing, causing oven fan noise, rattling, or a humming sound. If the blade looks good, the fan motor may have worn bearings or a damaged blower and may need replacement. A convection motor can also make the oven fan noisy if its bearings are failing, its shaft wobbles, or the convection fan contacts the housing. On a gas GE range, a sudden whoosh or boom often means the gas is not igniting promptly. A faulty spark ignition switch, spark ignition switch and harness, or oven igniter can allow gas to build up before ignition. Test the spark ignition switch for continuity with a multimeter. For the igniter, replace it if it does not have continuity or glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas. Whether you are troubleshooting an oven making noise, a range fan making noise, or a burner producing a whoosh, enter your model number to find the exact replacement fan blade, fan motor, convection motor, spark ignition switch, harness, or igniter for your GE range.

02 - GE 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 - GE 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 - GE 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 - GE 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 - GE 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.
