Proline Insufficient Control Panel Cooling

Control knobs become very hot to touch during normal oven use

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, Missing or damaged heat shield, Poor installation blocking airflow, Door seal leakage directing heat upwards

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool.

Check cooling fan: Confirm that the cooling fan runs whenever the oven is heating. If not, diagnose and replace the fan or its thermostat.
Inspect heat shields: Ensure any metal shields above the door and below the control panel are present and correctly fitted.
Door seal: Replace a worn door gasket to reduce hot air escaping towards the controls.
Verify installation: Ensure there is adequate clearance above the oven for hot air to escape.
