BlueStar Cooling Airflow or Door Seal Problem

Oven exterior surfaces (control panel, knobs, or door) become excessively hot to the touch.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed cooling fan, Blocked ventilation openings, Damaged door gasket allowing heat to escape, Missing heat shields

Safety first: High external temperatures can be a burn hazard. Limit use until corrected.

Steps to try:

Check vents: Ensure that front and rear vents are not blocked by cabinetry, foil, or other objects.
Verify cooling fan: During operation, listen for the cooling fan. If it is not running, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
Inspect gasket: Replace the oven door gasket if it is torn or flattened.
