1/2 Time oven repair, convection fan quit

[Ozz]

It started making a horrible noise, then got quiet, but the fan wasn't working. The cooling fan (on top of the unit) was noisy and slow as well.
I took it apart, oiled the top cooling fan and found the problem with the convection fan (a really tiny fan motor and fan) was that one end of the motor had come apart. The small oilite bearing should be captive, the whole assembly (pictured below) came apart. It was just crimped together. I re-crimped it and it is as good as new.

I don't know which you have more of than me - Guts or Knowhow. My suspicion is both! Another great job, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jim. Linda has been complaining the convection part of the oven is not working. This gives me something to look at. Jim
p.s. It's still summer here in KC. Next week will still be in the high 40's.
