Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan motor, Blocked cooling vents, Faulty high-limit thermostat, EOC temperature sensing fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing. Components near the control can be very hot.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check cooling airflow: Ensure the oven is installed with proper clearances and that front and rear vents are not blocked by cabinetry or foil.
- Test cooling fan: During a bake cycle, the internal cooling fan should run. If it does not, access the fan (usually behind the rear panel or above the oven cavity) and test for power and motor continuity.
- Inspect high-limit thermostat: Locate the high-limit thermostat near the top of the oven cavity or on the rear. Test for continuity. A tripped/open thermostat may need replacement.
- Control board: If fan and thermostat are good but F1E4 persists, the EOC may be misreading temperature and should be replaced.
