Possible Causes

Inner glass panel cracked or missing, Door not properly assembled after cleaning, Failed door cooling airflow, Damaged door seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before inspecting the door. Glass edges can be sharp; wear cut‑resistant gloves.

  • Inspect glass layers: Most Brandt ovens have multiple glass panes. Check that all are present and correctly seated. Replace any cracked or missing glass with the correct part.
  • Check door assembly: If the door was disassembled for cleaning, ensure all spacers and brackets are reinstalled correctly to maintain air gaps.
  • Verify cooling fan: Ensure the cooling fan runs during operation. If not, replace the cooling fan motor.
  • Replace seal: A damaged seal can allow hot air to escape directly onto the glass. Replace the oven door seal if worn.
