This video is 3 years old, want to just say... BEYOND HELPFUL! Clear and Concise. A+ with the editing in of some of the "ahead" steps you did that could have waited, amazing instructions. Wife and completed this repair yesterday, and, had I not had OCD with cleaning everything, probably would've taken us less amount of time than this video that we watched no less than 3 times ahead of the repair. THANK YOU. Tip for everyone? Leave extra time to CLEAN!!!!! the inside of ours was SUPER DUSTY, and, there is a piece he doesn't take off in the repair - where the vent comes up or down to the front right of the part that is being replaced that was gunked up with nasty grease. We spent a bunch of time cleaning this up. Be prepared with some heavy duty grease cleaner! THANK YOU AGAIN DUDE AWESOME VIDEO EASY TO UNDERSTAND 100% SPOT ON!
Phenomenal. I made a DIY oven dolly by using a furniture dolly, an RV scissor/jack stabilizer, 2x4s and plywood. Actual Oven dolly would have made the job much easier but there is no place near me to rent them. Despite this, the repair worked and saved weeks to waiting for GE service technician to come diagnose and then wait for ordered part and 2 visits. Cannot thank you enough for your excellent narration and sharing of skills. Best regards!
I’ve been using this oven dolly for 28 years and it is amazing. I was able to repair double ovens myself without having to have an employee to help me with the repair
Thanks. At least now I know what I'm in for when I call a repair man out. Got an F96 yesterday and the oven is barely three years old! I've had terrible luck with all my GE appliances.
Same. 3 years in a brand new house. Builder installed GE appliances (I didn’t know they are crap 💩). I’ve had F 96 AND 97 on this oven over the last year. Not to mention the GE dishwasher that failed last week.
Thanks for the detailed video. My wife and I were able to replace the blower fan in about two hours … and most of that time was removing the oven from the wall and removing panels. We don’t always work well together on projects like this but it turned out to be a ZERO argument project. It felt good to do it ourselves and save a little money. If you’re on the fence about doing it yourself give it a go. It’s pretty straightforward with this step by step video.
Thanks for this video. That was exactly what happened to mine and by following this I was able to repair my oven. And the tip on a box or something to rest the oven on was super helpful. I was thinking I would need to lower to the kitchen floor.
Thanks! You saved me $280 (appliance repair service estimate on labor and travel). I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Hope you're making some money on your TH-cam channel. TH-cam has truly revolutionized DIY projects. Yay TH-camrs, you da best!!
I had good luck using a motorcycle jack for my dolly. Also, removing the doors made things much lighter and less stressful. It’s amazing how heavy those doors are.
Thank you ... this was helpful. I ended up taking my fan apart to see why it was binding. There are cover plates on the bearing that are not properly crimped on. The bearing are packed with an oil soaked fibre and soring in order to lubricate the bushing. Once the cover pops off, the spring pushes the cover against the motor and causes it to drag. Cleaning/lubricating alone won't fix it. In my case, I was able to repack the bearing and crimp on the covers, but I would not recommend this for the typical DIYer.
Just picked up one of these ovens today for free because it had this error code lol. Pretty pumped about this one, such a simple fix. I may sell it, or install it in my kitchen, haven't decided yet, but we're renoing the kitchen later this year.
A huge big thank you for this well documented video. I just finish the repair. Slightly different model than the one in the vid. But Works great now. Took me about and hour. But 3/4 of that was trying to get the panels to line back up. 👍🏻
Great video. My fan starts up and then turns off with F96 after 30 seconds. Sounds like the hall effect sensor. I hate to replace a part for no reason, but it sounds like maybe I should change the fan too as long as I'm in there ...
I have the same problem and am currently waiting for the part. This is another example of how products are not designed with ease of repair in mind. This could have been avoided if the ovens had been designed instead with a front accessible fan tray at the top. This is common in broadcast video equipment (my industry). Otherwise, we like oven but jeez what a hassle on this one.
This cooling fan should stay on during and after baking session right? What would be the reason for it to stop when you turn the oven off (while it is still very hot and risking the boards to get fried)?
My comment is had the same problem with my oven instead of taking out and replacing the fans just used a wooden ruler on the lower oven and push the motor on the fan a little bit and it freed it up and it's working just fine
I have this same code but when i look through the vents i can see both the top and bottom fan spinning. do you think it could be the fan sensor and not the fans themselves?
Hi, great video!! I have a question, I got the same F96 fail code, my oven is single, I first replaced the fan and still got the code so I replaced the sensor, tried it again, the fan works fine you can feel the air flow buy yet I still get the F96 code!!! what else could it be? I hope you can help, Thanks from Valle de Bravo in Mexico
Our oven has the F97 error. I was able to rig it so that the oven works if I first turn on the cleaner for like 10 seconds and then try to use the oven. But obviously that is a pain (and I want to make sure that I am not potentially causing an issue by doing this). I took a flashlight and can see the bottom fan spinning really fast trying to cool the oven down after use. If it's running, then what do you think the issue might be?
How about add a link to where you can actually purchase the replacement parts? Was just told by a Home Depot handy man they are 6-8 weeks out. I can do this myself if I knew where to get the replacement fan and mother board for fault code F97
Are the fans working? You can seem them through the front. The bottom one is harder to see but you can still get an eye on it working. If they are working I would look into the Hall sensor on the fan itself. They do not come with the new fan you put in. Those may have failed, that may be the only thing left when it comes to the fan speed codes. **This link that i am putting below is probably not the one you need, I just did a quick google search on those hall sensors. ** It should look something like this, www.searspartsdirect.com/product/2hdmi6g5rj-0022-364/id-WB27T11463?sid=pla:ggl:WB27T11463:pla-293946777986&gclid=CjwKCAjwj6SEBhAOEiwAvFRuKKhA8kRh9tzHHg5Kbq4leaNnRUKDLr7nVeMqfP6JFqewpKllR9RRnhoCPmcQAvD_BwE
Alldolly. Only place that sells them too. Well from the research I’ve done anyways. Had it for over a year and it has paid for itself already. Here’s a link. alldolly.com/product-category/dollies/

I just got that too! 3 years GE also. Brand new 3 year old house and they gave us GE crap.

Me too. 3 years. Garbage.
Same here, three year old oven. Mine is GE model JT5000SF3SS.
Ge made after 2015 is made by China. They are garbage and should be avoided along with LG, Samsung

With no oven repair experience, I had mine fixed in one hour with your guidance. Thank you

Dude, THANK YOU SO MUCH. You saved me a ton of money - not a hard fix with the correct instruction.
My ovens just gave me this code. Can you tell me where you purchased your fan?
So frustrating, my ovens are 5 years old.
@AmandaLee-k3w let me go look at where I ordered.
@@jimpalmer4061 thanks for checking!

Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it!! Your narration and step-by-step guide made this very easy to follow!

Took me about and hour. But 3/4 of that was trying to get the panels to line back up. 👍🏻
Great job! Very thorough description of the repair! This will help a lot of people!
Thanks! 👍
OK then. You've got one nice oven dolly there. Ingenious!
Thanks!
Welcome!
Great video. My fan starts up and then turns off with F96 after 30 seconds. Sounds like the hall effect sensor. I hate to replace a part for no reason, but it sounds like maybe I should change the fan too as long as I'm in there ...
Very helpful, but what was the part number ?🤔
This was an excellent video and instructions on how to fix and replace the fan motor. It helped me greatly, thank you!
Did the new blower come with fan sensor,didnt see you transfer old sensor to new blower?
thanks for giving all the free info. keep it up and all us appliance repairman will be out of a job

This could have been avoided if the ovens had been designed instead with a front accessible fan tray at the top. This is common in broadcast video equipment (my industry). Otherwise, we like oven but jeez what a hassle on this one.
thanks for the tip on the sensor that had also failed with the fan
So does that mean code 97 is same repair for lower oven fan ? If so what panels get removed / how do you access ? Thanks for posting vid
This cooling fan should stay on during and after baking session right?
What would be the reason for it to stop when you turn the oven off (while it is still very hot and risking the boards to get fried)?
My comment is had the same problem with my oven instead of taking out and replacing the fans just used a wooden ruler on the lower oven and push the motor on the fan a little bit and it freed it up and it's working just fine
Do you have a video of the lower fan, F97 error code?
I was able to figure out how to remove the lower fan (F97). The problem was the small pin connector had come loose not a fan failure.
@@jweverse9961 So F 96 is for the top fan? And F 97 is for the lower fan?
very good doly exelent video work
I have this same code but when i look through the vents i can see both the top and bottom fan spinning. do you think it could be the fan sensor and not the fans themselves?
Very thorough video and most importantly this fix worked!!! Thanks so much!!!

What causes the oven to preheat slowly??
How about add a link to where you can actually purchase the replacement parts?
Was just told by a Home Depot handy man they are 6-8 weeks out. I can do this myself if I knew where to get the replacement fan and mother board for fault code F97
My bad. I didn’t read the entire description. Apologizes
I like your video on code 96.
I have GE Model JK3500SF3SS with code 97 do you have video on it?
Whre do I get this part (fan) from?
What do you think about us getting both a f96 and f97 error code on the same unit. Already replaced the bottom fan and control board.
Are the fans working? You can seem them through the front. The bottom one is harder to see but you can still get an eye on it working. If they are working I would look into the Hall sensor on the fan itself. They do not come with the new fan you put in. Those may have failed, that may be the only thing left when it comes to the fan speed codes.
**This link that i am putting below is probably not the one you need, I just did a quick google search on those hall sensors. **
It should look something like this, www.searspartsdirect.com/product/2hdmi6g5rj-0022-364/id-WB27T11463?sid=pla:ggl:WB27T11463:pla-293946777986&gclid=CjwKCAjwj6SEBhAOEiwAvFRuKKhA8kRh9tzHHg5Kbq4leaNnRUKDLr7nVeMqfP6JFqewpKllR9RRnhoCPmcQAvD_BwE
What is the part number?
Is the F96 error code specifically for the cooling fan not the convention fan? Need to make sure I order the right part GE Monogram ZET1SHSS
i would like to buy this part from you, how much.
great video !!!!!!!!!!
how do you do that?
Man I like that cart. Where did you get that from?
Alldolly. Only place that sells them too. Well from the research I’ve done anyways. Had it for over a year and it has paid for itself already. Here’s a link. alldolly.com/product-category/dollies/
Ditto. Neef5 name brand of dolly and where to purchase
What brand of oven dolly? 🤔 Where did you purchase? 🤔
Only one I could find was from Alldolly. alldolly.com/ Make sure you order before their christmas break. I waited for almost a month for mine.
I have a doubled oven that shows a code F71 can antyone tell me why please
Thank you so much ❤️🥰🥰
I have a GE Profile and I get F34 error. What does it mean? What part do I have to replace?
oven sensor
My oven dolly came with a board so I slide the oven, dryer right I the board.
New blower doesn't come with sensor
next time take the doors off it makes it lighter and easier to work with
I do when I have too. This one was no bad at all to pull out though. Easy peasy with the dolly.
