Possible Causes

Overheated cabinet temperature sensor, Blocked cooling vents, Failed cooling fan, Sensor out of range

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off power and allow the oven to cool.

  • Check installation: Confirm that the oven has the required clearance in the cabinet and that ventilation slots are not blocked.
  • Inspect cooling fan: Verify that the cabinet cooling fan runs when the oven is on. If not, test and replace the fan motor if necessary.
  • Test cabinet sensor: Locate the cabinet or ambient sensor (often near the top of the oven). Measure its resistance and compare with Hitachi specifications.
  • Replace sensor: If the sensor is out of range or physically damaged, replace it with the correct Hitachi cabinet temperature sensor.
