Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan, Blocked vents causing control overheat, Loose power connection, Failing control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before inspection.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the oven has proper cabinet clearances and that vents are not blocked.
- Verify cooling fan: Confirm that the cooling fan runs during operation. If it stops prematurely or is very weak, replace the fan motor.
- Inspect wiring: Check the terminal block and internal power connections for looseness or heat damage that could cause intermittent power loss.
- Control board: If cooling and power connections are good, the control board may be overheating internally and shutting down; replacement is typically required.
Warning: Repeated overheating can damage cabinetry and wiring; address the root cause promptly.
