How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool fully before dismantling the door.

  • Check cooling fan: Ensure the tangential cooling fan runs whenever the oven is heating. If not, diagnose and replace the fan.
  • Inspect door glass: Remove the door (following Caple instructions) and disassemble the inner panel. Check that all glass panes are present, correctly seated, and not cracked.
  • Clean air channels: Clear any grease or debris from the top and bottom door vents to restore airflow.
  • Replace damaged parts: Fit new inner glass or seals if any are missing or damaged.
