Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan motor, Blocked front or rear vents, Damaged door gasket allowing heat leakage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool before inspection.
- Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for gaps or damage. Replace if it does not seal evenly all around.
- Verify fan operation: During a bake cycle, you should hear a cooling fan running (on most Café wall ovens). If not, access and test the cooling fan motor.
- Clear vents: Ensure cabinet trim or objects are not blocking the oven's intake and exhaust vents. Follow Café installation clearances.
- Replace fan: If the cooling fan is noisy, slow, or not running, replace the cooling fan motor assembly.
