How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate the cooker at the mains before accessing internal components.
- Allow full cool-down: Ensure the oven is completely cold. The fan may legitimately run for some time after cooking.
- Power reset: Turn off power for 10 minutes, then restore. If the fan starts immediately with a cold oven, a control fault is likely.
- Locate fan thermostat (technician): Usually mounted near the oven cavity. Test for continuity when cold; it should be open. Replace if stuck closed.
- Check control board relay: If the thermostat is good, the fan relay on the EOC may be stuck and the board will need replacement.
