How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool. Avoid touching hot metal surfaces.

Check ventilation: Ensure that the range has proper clearance and that vents are not blocked by foil, pans, or wall coverings.
Inspect door gasket: A leaking door gasket can direct hot air toward the control panel. Replace if worn or damaged.
Verify cooling fan: On models with a cooling fan, confirm that it runs during and after high-temperature operation. Replace the fan motor if inoperative.
Heat shields: Inspect any internal heat shields around the control area for displacement or damage and reinstall or replace as needed.

Excessive heat at the controls can shorten the life of electronic components; address promptly.

Cooktop glass or stainless surface is excessively hot around the knobs or control panel during oven use.
