Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid prolonged contact with hot surfaces; turn off the oven if the panel becomes excessively hot.

Check installation and vents:

  • Verify the oven has the clearances specified in the Midea installation manual.
  • Ensure front and rear vents are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.

Inspect cooling system:

  • Confirm the cooling fan motor runs during and after baking.
  • Inspect internal heat shields and baffles for proper placement.

Replace a failed cooling fan and restore any missing shields to reduce control panel temperatures.
