Possible Causes
Relay stuck closed on control board, Shorted temperature sensor reading high, Wiring short between sensor and control, Faulty fan thermostat (if separate)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control area or fan wiring.
- Allow full cool-down: Ensure the oven is completely cool. Some models keep the fan running until a safe temperature is reached.
- Check sensor: Test the oven temperature sensor resistance at room temperature (~1050–1100 Ω). Replace if out of range.
- Inspect control board: If the sensor is good, the fan relay on the control board may be stuck. Replace the control board.
- Fan thermostat: On models with a separate fan thermostat, test it for proper opening/closing temperatures and replace if stuck closed.
