Possible Causes

High-mass oven cavity retaining heat, Blocked vents reducing airflow, Weak cooling fan, High ambient kitchen temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: The cooling fan is designed to run after use; this is normal unless excessively long or noisy.

  • Check vents: Ensure all oven vents are clear and not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
  • Fan performance: Listen for unusual noises from the cooling fan. If airflow seems weak or the fan is noisy, replace the cooling fan motor.
  • Usage pattern: After very high-temperature or long baking cycles, expect longer cool-down times. This can be normal.
