This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed cooling fan, Blocked venting above door, Missing or damaged heat shield

Safety First: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before inspection.

Check vents: Ensure that the vent above the door is not blocked by foil, trim, or cabinetry.
Verify cooling fan: During operation, a cooling fan should blow air across the control panel. If not running, replace the fan motor.
Inspect heat shield: Remove the control panel and verify that any heat shields or insulation are in place and not damaged.
Installation check: Confirm that the oven is installed per Danby specifications with proper clearances.
