    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

I have a Figidaire FPMC2785PF oven that has developed a loud clicking noise. It sounds like something is clicking against a fan or something.  This machine was purchased used and I would like to fix it from making noise.  Here is a video of the noise.  I live in Orange County CA and would either love to have some advice on how to fix or have someone do it for me.

 

Thanks

Open the door and hold the light switch in and look and listen, then take the convection fan cover off and see what's hapnin. Maybe the fan blade came loose. Maybe the fan cover is bent.

Sounds like the cooling fan is fouling something or maybe the fan itself is coming apart. You feeling strong?

Does it start immediately when the oven is turned on? Does it continue after the oven is shut off? Is it on whether in conventional or convection bake?

Yes the clicking usually starts right away and then sometimes stops after reaching temperature but not always. After turning off the clicking will usually continues for some time as it cools down. Convection or bake does not seem to matter, the clicking starts right a way. On rare ocasion i got it to stop by playing around with the lock mechanism. The bottom oven makes no such noise and works fine.

Track the noise down to determine which fan is making the noise and replace the fan. 

The cooling fan is located on top behind the controls. You will need to pull the oven to service.

Yes the model I posted earlier was wrong. It is a FPET2785PF.

 

I did remove the cover to the fan and noticed that the sheet metal was not properly suspending the cooling fan.  The fan blades were actually scraping slightly against the bottom sheet metal. To remedy I bent the sheet metal tabs slightly so that the fan was properly suspended giving the blades clearance.  The result is no more noise.  :)

Thanks
