How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing panels. Surfaces may be hot; allow cooling time.

Check vents: Ensure that front and rear vents are not blocked by cabinetry, foil, or other objects. Maintain clearances specified in the installation manual.
Inspect cooling fan: Listen for the cooling fan during operation. If not running, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
Examine door gasket: Look for gaps or flattened areas in the gasket. Replace the oven door gasket if it does not seal properly.
Insulation check (advanced): If the oven has been previously disassembled, verify that insulation is intact and properly placed around the cavity. Missing insulation should be replaced with the correct high-temperature material.

Excessive external temperatures can damage cabinets and electronics; address the cause before continued use.

Oven exterior surfaces and control panel become excessively hot to the touch during normal baking.
