Possible Causes
Stuck relay on EOC, Shorted temperature sensor reading high, Wiring fault causing constant fan power
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.
Steps to check:
- Allow full cool-down: Ensure the oven is completely cool; some models run the fan until a safe temperature is reached.
- Test sensor: Measure oven sensor resistance at room temperature; replace if out of spec.
- Inspect EOC: If the sensor is good, the fan relay on the EOC may be stuck closed. Replace the EOC.
