How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool. Avoid touching very hot surfaces.
- Check vents: Ensure front and top vents are not blocked by objects or foil.
- Inspect cooling fan: On models with a tangential fan, listen for fan operation during and after cooking. If silent, access and test the fan; replace if faulty.
- Door seal: Verify the door gasket is intact and sealing properly to prevent excessive heat escape.
- Service if extreme: If the panel becomes dangerously hot, discontinue use and have the cooling system inspected by a technician.
