Additional Information
The Whirlpool Range Downdraft Vent Blower Motor Assembly (part number W10921431) ensures efficient removal of smoke, steam, and cooking odors. It replaces part number W10810492 and includes multiple components necessary for full functionality. Refer to your appliance?s parts diagram to verify included components.
If your downdraft vent isn?t clearing smoke effectively, makes unusual noises, or fails to turn on, replacing the blower motor assembly may restore proper ventilation.
Installation Tips: Unplug the appliance before installation to prevent electrical hazards. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Follow model-specific guidelines for mounting the blower motor and connecting electrical wiring.
We purchased an "as is" range that had freight damage. The blower motor and more importantly, the installation template was missing. The positioning is very demanding as there is little clearance and the duct work must be precisely aligned. I had to relocate the gas line, 240v outlet, as well as the outside vent to complete the installation. The part, however works flawlessly.

Ordered a brand new oven, came with defective fan (made a lot of noise) but apparently it is not covered by warranty? So I had to purchase a new fan out of my pocket. Fan was nice and arrived quickly, took about 45 minutes to install and you do need some help to move the oven. Works like it is supposed to now!!
