Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation openings, Failed cooling fan, Faulty ambient temperature sensor near control panel, High-limit thermostat tripped near electronics

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Let the oven cool completely.

  • Check ventilation: Ensure that the oven has the required clearance in the cabinet and that front and rear ventilation slots are not blocked by panels or insulation.
  • Verify cooling fan operation: Access the cooling fan and test for free rotation. Replace the fan motor if seized or noisy.
  • Inspect ambient sensor / thermostat: Some Asko ovens use a sensor or thermostat near the control panel to monitor electronics temperature. Test continuity or resistance according to the service data and replace if faulty.
  • Reset high-limit (if present): If a manual-reset thermostat is installed near the control area, press the reset button once. If it trips again, investigate fan and airflow issues before further use.
