Modern Maid Range making a loud noise
When your Modern Maid range is making a loud noise, the sound may come from the fan system or from gas that is not igniting promptly. A bent or loose fan blade is the most likely cause, especially if you hear scraping or rubbing as the blade contacts its housing. Inspect the blade for damage or movement on the shaft. A faulty spark ignition switch, or the spark ignition switch and harness, can intermittently delay burner ignition and cause a sudden "whoosh" as gas builds up and flashes. If the noise is an oven fan noise, humming, rattling, or grinding, the fan motor may have worn bearings or a damaged blade. A weak oven igniter can also cause a small "boom" in the oven when gas fails to ignite quickly. If your convection oven fan is making noise, the convection motor may have bad bearings or a wobbling shaft. Use a multimeter to test electrical parts when appropriate, and shut off the gas and power before servicing. Enter your Modern Maid range model number to find the exact replacement fan blade, fan motor, spark ignition switch, igniter, or convection motor for your appliance.
01 - Modern Maid Range/Stove/Oven Fan Blade

02 - Modern Maid 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 - Modern Maid 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 - Modern Maid 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 - Modern Maid 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 - Modern Maid 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.
