Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: It is normal for some models to run the fan briefly after cooking. If it runs excessively (e.g., more than 15–20 minutes), investigate.
Steps to address extended fan run:
- Observe pattern: Time how long the fan runs after cooking. Check the user manual to see if this is expected behavior.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit to stop the fan. After a few minutes, plug it back in and see if the fan starts immediately (indicating a stuck relay or sensor issue).
- Sensor check: Inspect the NTC temperature sensor near the heater. If it is loose or not sensing correctly, the board may think the unit is still hot.
- Relay inspection: On the control PCB, locate the fan relay. If contacts are welded closed, the fan will run continuously. Replace the main control PCB or relay assembly.
Warning: Do not leave the appliance plugged in unattended if the fan runs continuously without reason.
