How to Fix / Troubleshooting
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.
