Belling Cooling Airflow or Door Seal Problem

Control panel or knobs become excessively hot during oven use

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 cavity cooling fan, blocked front vents, missing or damaged door seal, misaligned door causing hot air leakage

Safety: Some warmth is normal, but surfaces should not be too hot to touch briefly. If they are, discontinue use until checked.

Check seal and door fit: Inspect the door gasket and hinges as described earlier. Replace worn seals and hinges.
Cooling fan operation: On models with a cooling fan, it should run during and after cooking. If not, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
Clear vents: Ensure the front and top vents are not blocked by foil, accessories, or cabinetry.
