Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan thermostat, Stuck fan relay on EOC, Shorted fan wiring, Control misinterpreting temperature sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the fan or control board.
Step-by-step checks:
- Allow full cool-down: Ensure the oven is completely cool. Some models run the fan for a period after use; this is normal.
- Check thermostat: Locate the cooling fan thermostat or sensor (often on the top of the oven cavity). Test for proper open/closed operation at room temperature per the tech sheet.
- Inspect control: If the thermostat is open but the fan still runs whenever power is applied, the fan relay on the EOC may be stuck closed. Replace the EOC.
- Wiring check: Inspect fan wiring for shorts that could be feeding constant power.
