Exhaust Blower Making loud noise

Screwdrivers, and electric screwdriver. small flashlight.

My Oven was making a loud noise, i researched the problem on line and confirmed by reasoning that it was the exhaust blower that was the issue. I ordered the part, it was very in-expensive, got here in three days. I looked up my stove model number online and researched the schematic and youtube. I did not find my exact model on you tube but had enough information to do the job. I did have to take the entire top off (glasstop) and upper support frame, but it is all screws so take pictures as you go so you know where to put them back in. Also take pictures of the electrical connections that you have to dis-connect as you go. It was tedious to do but actually really simple and systematic. My wife did help on a couple of steps that take two people to move a part. Just take your time and keep track of your steps. It only took about 1.5 hours to completely take apart and put back together. Everything runs perfect. I have a KitchenAid glasstop stove. The parts fit perfect and performs perfect as well

When electric oven was started in any mode a sound was emitted from the range which sounded like something was shorting out. As oven heated up sound would stop.

Phillips screw driver and 1/4" combination wrench

This is a 2014 KitchenAid electric range model KESS908SPS06 with glass top and all digital controls. Cooling fan is accessed through the back. Unplug range, remove top support, remove both side panels, remove power riser cover, remove back cover and fan is located at the top. Combination wrench will be needed to remove a couple of machine screws to rotate fan supports to remove old fan and install new fan. New fan does not come with the foam. I was fortunate enough to be able to remove the foam from the existing fan and install on new fan. However, I suggest you have some heavy duty double sided tape (not scotch tape) on hand or just order part W10491987. I used an egg carton to number the screws in order they were removed and wrote a brief description in each cup. I also wrote the corresponding number on the range with a Sharpie at each location. Could not have removed the old fan or installed the new one without the 1/4” combination wrench. It took a just over one hour to replace, but I could do it all over in 30 minutes. This is not a difficult job. KitchenAid factory authorized tech wanted $500 to replace fan. I saved $390 by doing it myself.

The stove was not cooling itself. You could hear the fan motor trying to work.

Screwdrivers.

Take pictures so you know how to put it back together.
