Caloric Range making a loud noise

Is your Caloric range making a loud noise, such as oven fan noise, rattling, humming, a burner "whoosh," or a small boom? The most likely cause is a damaged or slipping fan blade rubbing against its housing. Inspect the blade for bending, cracks, or movement on the shaft. 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. Test the switch for electrical continuity with a multimeter. A worn fan motor can also produce loud noise when its bearings fail or the blade or blower is damaged. If the Caloric oven igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas, it may be too weak to open the valve, while an igniter that does not glow should be tested for continuity. Finally, a failing convection motor can rattle or cause the convection fan to hit the housing. Enter your Caloric range model number to find the exact replacement fan blade, motor, ignition switch, harness, or igniter for your appliance.

01 - Caloric 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 - Caloric 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 - Caloric 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 - Caloric 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 - Caloric 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 - Caloric 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.
