How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Warning: Disconnect power before servicing. Surfaces may be hot.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the range has proper clearance and that vents are not blocked by foil or cookware.
- Inspect cooling fan: Access the top or rear of the unit to locate the cooling fan. Check for obstructions and verify the blade spins freely.
- Test fan operation: With power restored, start a bake cycle and listen for the cooling fan. If it does not run, test the fan motor for continuity and replace if open.
- Control issue: If the fan runs but the error persists, the control's fan sensing circuit may be faulty and the control board may need replacement.
