Possible Causes

Failed inner door glass seal, Missing or damaged inner glass, Non-functioning cooling fan, Door not closing fully

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before disassembling the door or top cover.

  • Check cooling fan: Verify that the tangential cooling fan runs during operation. Replace if not working.
  • Inspect door closure: Ensure the door closes tightly and the gasket seals all around. Adjust hinges or replace gasket if needed.
  • Door glass inspection: Remove the door (if design allows) and disassemble the inner panel to inspect the glass layers. Replace any cracked or missing inner glass.
  • Clean vents: Make sure the top front vent above the door is not blocked, allowing hot air to escape properly.
