Oven shows F8 and may not heat or may shut down unexpectedly.

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 motor, Blocked fan blades, Faulty fan speed sensor (if equipped), Defective fan control circuit on EOC

Safety first: Turn off power and let the oven cool before accessing the fan.

Inspect fan: Remove the rear panel to access the cooling fan. Clear any debris and ensure the blades spin freely.
Check motor: Test the fan motor for continuity. Replace if open or seized.
Voltage test: With power on and a bake cycle started (only if qualified), verify that the fan receives proper voltage. If not, suspect the EOC or wiring.
Replace faulty components: Install a new fan motor if defective. If the motor is good but F8 persists, replace the EOC.
