Princess Insulation / Cooling Deficiency

Oven functions but the outer surfaces and control panel become excessively hot to touch.

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 or displaced cavity insulation, Non-functioning cooling fan, Blocked ventilation, Door seal leakage

Safety first: Avoid touching hot metal surfaces; allow the oven to cool before inspection.

Check ventilation: Ensure vents are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
Inspect cooling fan: Confirm the top cooling fan runs during and after cooking. Replace if not operating.
Check door seal: Replace a damaged gasket that allows excessive heat to escape.

If surfaces remain dangerously hot, internal insulation may be compromised and should be inspected and replaced by a technician.
