When I turn on my whirlpool gold oven(both the convection and the lower standard one. ) it makes a loud buzzing sound while it's heating and cooking. It stops after the oven has cooled. Thanks dan

Question edited for clarity, 'conversion' to 'convection'.
Question moved to maker category.
Full 'make MODEL (what is is)' in all questions please, first 3 words please.

That buzzing normally happens before the element fails. It is starting to arc inside the metal covering. Eventually they pop and you get a hole in the side of the element. It isn't getting to full temperature because there is internal resistance and only a portion of the element is heating up.

..

Isn't the upper element the grilled? I don't think it is controlled by the oven thermostat.

Most ovens with self-clean cycles have a door lock to keep things closed when it ramps up the the extreme heat levels for cleaning. Usually, the door will stay locked until the thermostat sensor says that the oven is back down at or close to room temperature. If you just finished the cleaning cycle, you'll likely need to wait a while longer.

There is a cooling fan for upper and lower oven they run at the same time no matter which oven in use it is fed from the oven manager no way to trouble shoot without pulling oven out some models use same fan for both so you could have a blower on hand remove back panels to access fans take a lead off fan to determine which one noisey

I found the answer on other posts on this website and it saved me $500! I had the same problem with my Dacor Model ECD2278 double oven. After I ran the self cleaning the top oven would not come on and the lower oven ran almost double the temp that was set. To fix: disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker. Open the oven door. You'll see the grille/grate/steel cover in front of the door latch mechanism, and it should have about 4 screws holding it in place. Remove the screws then remove the grille cover. On my model the tiny red reset button was on the right side on top of a black plastic round piece which is about 1" in diameter. Press the little button down til it clicks.

Check for a broken wire or even broken element on top and bottom of unit. To do this, the unit must be unplugged or otherwise removed from power completely, then remove the screws that hold each heating element in place and gently pull out and inspect the wire connections. You should have just enough slack to check them. There should also be just enough slack to strip the wire clean to make the new connection to the heating element.

If the repair has been done before, you may need to fish a new lingth of high temp wire into the location.

The self-clean cycle has blown a fuse in the rear of the oven. That thermal fuse must be replaced. Go to www.appliancepartspros.com and enter your model number. Find the thermal fuse on the diagram and then you can orfer the fuse from them.

You don't tell the age of the oven... but the convection fan motor bearing is stressed by the heat of the oven.... and over time can cause all sorts of noises.

You may want to place a small amount of WD-40 on the convection fan motor bearing... just to confirm it as the problem/

Best to replace the motor if it is the problem..

DO you have a model number for that. I'm almost sure it's a thermal fuse in the back of the oven. Usually they go out during or after cleaning but that would shut down both elements. If you have the model (usually by the inside door look all over and up in the cavity) Then if you go to this link

It will show you a breakdown of the oven and where it is. If you give me the model I'll show you what I'm talking about. Good luck.

P.S. if it the fuse it's a cheap fix, little hard to get in back of the oven but cheap!
