How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Surfaces may be hot. Allow cooling and disconnect power before internal inspection.
- Check vents: Ensure that the front and rear ventilation openings of the range are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
- Listen for fan: During baking, you should hear the cooling fan running. If not, suspect a fan issue.
- Inspect fan (technician): Remove the back panel to access the cooling fan. Test for power and replace the cooling fan motor if it does not run.
