Possible Causes

Blocked oven vent, Failed cooling fan, Missing or damaged heat shield, Installation too tight around cabinets

Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool before inspecting vents.

Check vents: Locate the oven vent (often at the back of the cooktop or control panel) and ensure it is not blocked by foil, pans, or debris.
Listen for fan: During baking, you should hear a cooling fan running. If not, the fan motor or control may be faulty.
Inspect installation: Verify that the range has the clearances specified in the installation manual.
Service fan: Replace a failed cooling fan motor and ensure all ducting and shields are in place.
