My Whirlpool fan assisted oven's fan came on by itself.
Whirlpool Model G2P62F/SS/01
Oven has not been used in over 24 hours. I just heard it start up.
I have shut the oven switched off in the mean time. Any ideas?.
Thanks for your prompt response... Not sure if I just didn't see it in your response but how would that come on by itself and how can I access the feature to check? I've had it for years. Never had it come on at a random time when oven is completely cool.Thanks for your prompt response...

It is a timer or delayed start. You put your turkey in the oven, you press some buttons at midnight before you go to bed and set the timer for the oven to come on in 7 hours time. The oven counts down and at 7:00am the oven comes on, the fans start up the oven heats up to whatever you set it to (325'F) and your turkey is cooked for 12:00 lunchtime.It is a timer or delayed start.

Verify that the Whirlpool oven is connected to its power source. The oven may sometimes lock down if experiencing a power surge or similar electrical problems. Additionally, check that a fuse hasn't been blown in your home's fuse box. Some older homes may not have the proper wiring to support a high-powered appliance such as a Whirlpool oven. If you are not sure if your wiring is sufficient, consult a local electrician.
Check to see if the Whirlpool oven's Control Lock has been turned on, a safety mechanism designed to lock the oven and disable its keypad and display controls. A padlock symbol will be displayed in the corner of the Whirlpool oven's front display panel if it is locked. The oven will not unlock itself on its own even if it is disconnected from its power source. To disable, press and hold the "3" button on the keypad for five seconds until the padlock icon disappears.
See if the Whirlpool oven is engaged in its self-cleaning cycle. During the self-cleaning process, the stove will lock its front door and will flash "OVEN LOCKED" on its front display. This is to prevent users from accidentally opening the oven and burning themselves during the high-heat segment in the cleaning process. If you must open the oven, first stop the process by pressing and holding the "OFF/CANCEL" button on the stove's control panel. If the oven remains locked, wait for the internal temperatures to decrease. The locking mechanism is temperature controlled and will not unlock until internal temperatures have cooled.
Contact Whirlpool's service department if your Whirlpool oven remains locked and you cannot troubleshoot it or open it. All Whirlpool self-cleaning ovens are covered for five years after the original purchase date. Call the warranty team for assistance by dialing toll-free (800) 253-1301 in the United States, or (800) 807-6777 in Canada. Be prepared to give the oven's model number and purchase date
check to see why it is making noise. look at the fan while it is spinning DO NOT INSERT YOUR HANDS and see if you can see what the fan is hitting and why it would be hitting whatever it is hitting could be the shaft onthe motor is maybe bent or a blade is bent on the fan blade itself or maybe something fell into the fan and that might be makin the noise hope this helps
The fan only comes on in the back of the oven when convecting and Automaticaly turns off when you open the door. The exhaust fan coming from the front stays on for qutie a while, maybe 2 hours or so till the oven cools. I think it is just a function of the oven. A good thing in the winter but uses a bunch of airconditioning in the summer
There is a high limit safety thermostat that acts as a one time fuse. If the outside of the oven gets too hot it will shut down power to the elements. The safety is on the behind the back wall of the oven (depending upon the model) the wall oven will have to be pulled from the wall and the back cover removed. Be sure to shut off the circuit breaker before removing the back cover. The thermo fuse should be located slightly to the right and up from the convection fan port. The door will unlock once the power is restored to the circuit.
There should be a wiring diagram inside the top control area of the oven that will help your efforts.
