Left Oven Cooling Fan Speed Low - fan speed
From Tech Sheet W11937380, p.32:
1.See TEST #11 (Secondary Left Oven Cooling Fan) on page 29.
2.Inspect the exhaust duct from the unit to the wall cap. A crushed or lint-blocked duct is the most common cause of airflow-related faults.
3.Measure static pressure at the blower housing with the lint screen removed. Expected: ≥ 1.0 in. w.c. in a still-air test.
