How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before servicing.
- Check fan operation: During a bake or self-clean cycle, the cooling fan should run. If it does not, suspect the fan motor or control.
- Access fan: Remove the rear panel to access the cooling fan assembly. Inspect for obstructions or heavy dust buildup.
- Test motor: With power OFF, check the fan motor for free rotation. Measure motor winding resistance; replace the cooling fan motor if open or seized.
- Inspect wiring: Verify the harness from the control to the fan is intact and connectors are secure.
- Replace control: If the fan motor and wiring are good but the fan never receives power, replace the electronic oven control board.
