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.
