Possible Causes

Blocked steam vent, Door seal not seating correctly, Cooking with high moisture and poor ventilation, Faulty cooling fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before inspecting vents and seals.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check steam vent: Locate the steam outlet (often at the top of the door or rear). Ensure it is not blocked by foil, trays, or grease.
  • 2. Inspect door seal: Replace a damaged or flattened seal to improve steam containment.
  • 3. Verify cooling fan: Ensure the cooling fan runs and exhausts warm air from the top front of the oven. Replace if not operating.
  • 4. Use correct cookware: Cover dishes with lids or foil when appropriate to reduce steam.

Warning: Excessive steam can damage the control panel over time; address the cause promptly.
