How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and let the oven cool before removing it from the cabinet.
- Check vents and trim: Ensure decorative trims do not block the front ventilation slots. Remove any obstructions.
- Test cooling fan: Confirm that the cooling fan runs whenever the oven is hot. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
- Inspect heat shields: Some models have metal shields directing hot air away from the controls. Verify they are present and correctly installed.
- Verify installation: Ensure the oven is not pushed too far back or sealed tightly without the recommended ventilation gaps.
