F8E0 error, cooling fan runs constantly or not at all; oven may shut down

Safety Warning

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 motor, blocked fan blades, wiring issue to fan, control not sensing fan speed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing the fan.

Access fan: Remove the top or rear panel to reach the cooling fan assembly.
Inspect fan: Check for obstructions, grease buildup, or a seized motor shaft. Spin the blade by hand; it should move freely.
Test motor: Apply appropriate voltage (per service manual) or test resistance to confirm motor health.

Replace the cooling fan motor if defective. If the fan runs but F8E0 persists, the control board's fan feedback circuit may be faulty and require replacement.
