Noisy blower motor that runs a long time and long preheat to get to temperature

Hello,

I have a KitchenAid dual electric oven model KEBK206BSS00. My blower motor (WPL-WPW10260254) makes a lot of noise when running and seems to run excessively. It runs from the time the oven is started until more than 45 minutes after the oven is shut off. The air is circulated out the front and it eventually shuts off. Is there a thermocouple or internal switch that can be adjusted or replaced so the blower can start later (after the oven has been running for a while) and shut off sooner (when the oven has not cooled to room temperature)? This would reduce the time that it runs but in addition I could order a new blower so that when it does run it is more quite.

Second question is that it takes more than 16 minutes for the oven to pre-heat to 350 degrees F. It seems to ramp fairly quickly to 200 degrees F and then takes a long time to get the rest of the way. Could this preheat cycle time be adjusted?

Thank you.
