Possible Causes

Failed cooling fan, Blocked ventilation openings, Damaged door gasket, Missing internal heat shields

Safety first: Use caution when touching exterior surfaces during and after use.

Check cooling fan: During a bake cycle, listen for the cooling fan. If it does not run, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
Inspect vents: Ensure front and rear vents are not blocked by cabinetry, foil, or other objects.
Door gasket: Replace a torn or flattened gasket that allows excessive heat to escape.
Internal shields: Verify that any internal baffles or shields are properly installed after previous repairs.
