Kenmore Range making a loud noise
Is your Kenmore range making a loud noise? First identify where the sound starts and whether it occurs during baking, convection cooking, or burner ignition. The most likely cause is a damaged or bent fan blade that is rubbing against its housing or sliding on the shaft. If you hear a whoosh or small boom from a gas burner, a faulty spark ignition switch, or the spark ignition switch and harness, may be allowing gas to build up before ignition. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter and stop using the burner if ignition is delayed. A worn fan motor can also cause oven fan noise, humming, rattling, or vibration when its bearings fail. On a gas Kenmore oven, a weak oven igniter may produce a boom because the gas does not ignite promptly. If it glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the burner, or has no continuity, replace it. Finally, a failing convection motor can make the oven fan noisy when the shaft wobbles or the fan strikes the housing. Enter your Kenmore range model number to find the exact replacement fan blade, spark ignition switch, harness, fan motor, igniter, or convection motor for your appliance.
01 - Kenmore 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 - Kenmore 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 - Kenmore 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 - Kenmore 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 - Kenmore 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 - Kenmore 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.
