How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This fault is usually not immediately dangerous but indicates a control issue.
- Allow time: It is normal for the cooling fan to run for some time after cooking. If it runs for more than an hour, suspect a fault.
- Check ventilation: Ensure cabinet vents are not blocked, allowing the oven to cool properly.
- Power reset: Turn off the cooker at the mains for 10 minutes, then restore. If the fan starts immediately with a cold oven, the control is faulty.
- Professional diagnosis: A technician should test the cooling thermostat and control board fan relay, replacing the faulty component.
