Possible Causes

Failed tangential cooling fan (control panel fan), Blocked air vents above oven door, Faulty cooling fan thermostat, Defective fan relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the oven to cool and disconnect power before servicing.

  • Check vents: Ensure the ventilation slots above and below the control panel are not blocked by trim, foil, or cabinetry.
  • Test cooling fan: During a high-temperature cycle, the tangential fan should run. If it does not, access the fan (usually above the oven cavity) and test for free rotation and continuity.
  • Inspect thermostat: Some models use a thermostat to trigger the cooling fan. Test it for proper operation and replace if open when hot.
  • Control relay: If the fan motor and thermostat are good but the fan never receives power, the control board relay may be faulty and the board should be replaced.
