Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan, Blocked front or rear vents, Incorrect built-in installation clearances, Missing internal baffle or seal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before inspection.
- Check installation: Verify that the Toshiba oven is installed with the clearances specified in the installation manual. Ensure no insulation or cabinetry blocks the top or rear vents.
- Test cooling fan: During a heating cycle, the cooling fan should run to exhaust hot air. If it does not, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
- Inspect air channels: Remove the top cover and check that internal air guides and baffles are in place and not displaced during previous service.
- Seal gaps: Replace any missing foam or metal seals that direct hot air away from the control panel.
