Possible Causes

Blocked vents, Failing fan motor, Weak or overly sensitive thermal cutoff, Control PCB overheating

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool fully.

Steps:

Ventilation: Ensure proper clearance around the unit and that vents are not blocked by walls or objects.
Clean airflow path: Remove grease and dust from vents, fan guard, and interior surfaces.
Check fan: Confirm the fan runs at full speed. Replace the fan motor if it is slow or noisy.
Thermal cutoff: Test the thermal fuse/thermostat for proper operation. Replace if it is weak or tripping prematurely (use identical rating).
