GE Profile Insufficient cooling or door seal failure

Oven exterior and control panel get excessively hot during use.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed cooling fan, Blocked cooling vents, Damaged door gasket, Misaligned door

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before inspection.

Check vents: Ensure cabinet cutouts and front vents are not blocked by trim, foil, or objects.
Verify cooling fan operation: During a bake cycle, the cooling fan should run once the oven heats up. If it does not, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
Inspect gasket and door: Replace a torn or flattened door gasket and correct any door misalignment.

Warning: Excessive external temperatures can damage cabinetry and electronics; address promptly.
