Possible Causes

Cooling fan thermostat stuck closed, Control board not ending fan cycle, High residual heat due to insulation issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing thermostats.

Steps:

  • Observe duration: Some overrun is normal. If the fan runs for more than 30–40 minutes after cool-down, suspect a fault.
  • Locate cooling thermostat: Usually clipped to the top of the oven cavity. Test continuity when cold; it should be open. Replace the cooling fan thermostat if stuck closed.
  • Control board: If the thermostat is working but the fan still runs, the electronic control board may be keeping the fan relay energised and may need replacement.
