Fan Noise of Range/Oven
Comments (1)No idea about the newly redesigned Wolf AG ranges, but one of our criteria after returning the poorly designed and poorly functioning Jade range, was one with a very quiet fan, and an on/off switch for said fan as well, was preferred. Our 2008 (?) Wolf AG has a pretty quiet fan, and we only switch it on for convection, or to facilitate cooling down on super hot days, or after lengthy/high temp oven use....See Moreoven fan noise?
Comments (7)I just bought and installed a Bosch 500 series single wall oven a couple of months ago. There was minor shipping damage where the top of the oven was dented in a little so I took the sheetmetal off the top of the oven and bent it back into shape. I also noticed a little centrifugal fan on top under the sheetmetal. I'm not sure, but I assume that's the electronics fan. If I had left the sheetmetal dented in and rubbing against that fan, I'm sure it would have been very loud. At a rough guess, the electronics fan is slightly louder than my 49dB DW, though I haven't really compared them back to back. I can tell when the fan is on, but it's not that loud. It's certainly no match for my toddlers. Also, since it's a fan, it's mostly just white noise (vs. the rhythmic noise of a DW) It is a bit disconcerting how long the electronics fan stays on. I think it's actually based on the oven internal temp, since it did turn off sooner once when I had the door open trying to clean up a spill. Finally, one other thing I noticed was that two of the sheetmetal screws were partially stripped out- one of them being one of the two fan retaining screws. If the fan was loose, that certainly could contribute to increased noise and rattling. I did go out and buy slightly larger sheetmetal screws, but didn't get around to putting them in. It is nice having the peace of mind that I could screw some bits in tighter if there was any rattling, though pulling the oven out would be a bit of a pain....See Morewall oven fan noise
Comments (2)I barely notice the cooling fan on my Bosch oven. I had read here of concerns with noisy fans and had been concerned, but I'm very pleased with how the Bosch turned out....See MoreCooling Fan Noise in DCS Range
Comments (1)Hi. Have you got some experience with your new range ? I had a Thermador 48” and it is definitely not getting along with my migraine :)...See Morepammo
