How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the range has proper clearance and that vents around the control panel are not blocked.
- Inspect cooling fan: Access the cooling fan and verify it runs during bake/self-clean. Replace the fan motor if it does not run or is noisy.
- Inspect control area: Look for signs of heat damage around the control board. Replace the board if components appear burnt.
- Re-test: After repairs, run a moderate bake cycle and confirm the fan operates and the error does not return.
