Possible Causes

Failed cooling fan motor, Open fan wiring harness, Faulty fan relay on EOC, Obstruction preventing fan from turning

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker. Internal metal edges can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves.

  • Locate cooling fan: Typically behind the rear panel or under the cooktop, depending on model.
  • Check for obstruction:
    • Spin the fan blade by hand (with power OFF). It should turn freely without scraping.
    • Remove any debris or insulation blocking the fan.
  • Test fan motor:
    • Disconnect the fan motor connector.
    • Measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open reading indicates a bad motor.
    • If accessible and safe, you can apply proper line voltage briefly (following service manual) to confirm operation. Only do this if you are qualified.
  • Inspect wiring and relay:
    • Check harness from fan to EOC for burns or breaks.
    • If motor and wiring are good, the fan relay on the EOC may have failed; replace the electronic oven control.
