Possible Causes
Stuck relay on EOC, Shorted cooling fan thermostat, Wiring short causing constant power to fan, Control board logic fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing controls.
- Allow full cool-down:
- Ensure oven is completely cool; some models keep fan running until a sensor cools.
- Check fan thermostat (if equipped):
- Locate the cooling fan thermostat and test for continuity at room temperature; it should be open when cool.
- Replace if stuck closed.
- Inspect control board:
- If thermostat is good, the fan relay on the EOC may be stuck; replace the electronic oven control.
