How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and let the oven cool completely.
- Check vents: Ensure the front and rear cooling vents are not blocked by cabinetry, foil, or debris.
- Listen for fan: During operation, the cooling fan should run when the oven is hot. If it never runs, suspect the fan or control.
- Access cooling fan: Remove the top or rear panel to reach the cooling fan assembly. Inspect for seized bearings or obstructions.
- Test and replace: Test the fan motor for continuity. Replace the cooling fan assembly if open or mechanically failed.
Warning: Operating without a working cooling fan can damage electronics and surrounding cabinetry.
