  • Step 1 – Improve airflow: Ensure proper clearance and clean all vents.
  • Step 2 – Clean interior: Remove grease from the heater guard and interior surfaces to reduce hot spots.
  • Step 3 – Check fan operation: Confirm the convection fan motor runs at full speed throughout the cycle.
  • Step 4 – Inspect high-limit thermostat: If the unit trips frequently despite good airflow, replace the high-limit thermostat with the correct Vida by PADERNO part.
