Possible Causes
High residual heat in cavity, Thermostat controlling cooling fan stuck closed, Control board logic keeping fan on, Poor ventilation around oven
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This behavior can be normal, but if it continues excessively, disconnect power before internal inspection.
- Allow time: Many Severin ovens run the cooling fan after cooking until internal temperatures drop. This can take 10–30 minutes.
- Check installation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the oven as per installation instructions.
- Inspect cooling thermostat: If the fan runs for hours, test the cooling thermostat or sensor that controls fan operation. Replace if it does not open at normal temperatures.
- Control board: If the thermostat is fine, the control PCB may be keeping the fan on due to a fault and may need replacement.
