Possible Causes
Non-functioning cooling fan, blocked ventilation gaps around built-in oven, degraded cavity insulation, door not sealing properly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool before inspection.
- Verify cooling fan operation: During a heating cycle, the top cooling fan should run. If not, test and replace the cooling fan motor or thermostat controlling it.
- Check installation clearances: Ensure the oven has the ventilation gaps specified in the Grundig installation manual. Remove any obstructions behind or above the oven.
- Inspect door seal and hinges: Replace a damaged seal or misaligned hinges that allow hot air to escape to the front.
- Insulation check (advanced): If accessible, inspect cavity insulation for major gaps or compression. Repack or replace insulation if severely degraded.
Warning: Excessive external temperatures can damage cabinetry and pose a burn hazard; do not ignore this symptom.
