Princess Cooling Fan Failure

Cooling fan at the top front of the oven does not run; control panel becomes very hot.

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 intake or exhaust, Faulty fan control circuit, Loose wiring

Safety first: Turn off power and let the oven cool.

Observe operation: During a short test (before disconnecting), check if the cooling fan starts when the oven heats. If not, proceed with checks.
Inspect fan: Access the top of the oven and inspect the cooling fan for dust buildup or obstruction. Clean as needed.
Test motor: Measure resistance of the cooling fan motor. Replace if open or seized.

A non-functioning cooling fan can damage electronics. Replace the fan motor or have the control board checked if it is not supplying power.
