Possible Causes
High residual heat due to poor ventilation, cooling thermostat set too low, sensor positioned incorrectly, stuck fan control
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No immediate danger, but disconnect power before internal checks.
- Check installation: Ensure the oven has adequate ventilation space and that surrounding cabinetry is not blocking airflow.
- Inspect cooling thermostat/sensor: Locate the thermostat or sensor controlling the cooling fan. Ensure it is firmly attached to the correct location and not loose.
- Replace thermostat if faulty: If the fan never stops even when the oven is completely cool, the cooling thermostat may be stuck closed and should be replaced.
- Control board check: If the thermostat is good, the fan relay on the control board may be stuck. Replace the control module if necessary.
