Frigidaire Professional Insufficient Cooling / Ventilation

Range control panel gets very hot to the touch during baking

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 cooling fan, Blocked vent channels, Missing or misinstalled heat shield, High ambient temperature around range

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the appliance to cool.

Check installation:
- Verify that the range has proper clearances and that vents are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
Inspect cooling fan:
- Access the cooling fan behind the control panel or rear of the range.
- Ensure it runs during oven operation; if not, test and replace the cooling fan motor.
Verify ducting and shields:
- Ensure all internal heat shields and air guides are in place and not bent.
