How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before removing it from the cabinet.
- Verify cooling fan operation: During a heating cycle, the top cooling fan should run. If it does not, test and replace the cooling fan motor as needed.
- Inspect insulation: Remove the top cover and check that insulation is correctly positioned around the cavity and not blocking airflow paths.
- Check vents: Ensure that the front and rear ventilation openings are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
- Heat shield: Confirm that any metal heat shields between the cavity and control panel are present and properly installed.
