Thermador Insufficient Cooling Airflow

Oven cools down very slowly after being turned off; exterior surfaces remain hot for a long time.

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 cooling vents, Poor cabinet installation restricting airflow, Fan relay not energizing

Safety first: Surfaces may remain hot; allow cooling before inspection.

Listen for fan: After turning the oven off from a hot cycle, the cooling fan should continue running for some time. If not, inspect the fan motor and wiring.
Clear vents: Ensure front and top vents are not blocked by trim or objects.
Fan motor test: Replace the cooling fan motor if it does not run when powered.
Control relay: If the motor is good but not receiving power, replace or repair the EOC.
