Overheating detected by sensor, Stuck fan control relay, Firmware logic for extended cool-down, High ambient temperature, Sensor reading too high
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This is usually a safety feature, but if excessively long, inspection is warranted. Unplug before internal checks.
- Check temperature: If the unit is extremely hot after cooking, extended fan operation may be normal. Improve ventilation around the appliance.
- Sensor accuracy: Test the NTC temperature sensor for correct resistance at room temperature. Replace if it reads too high, causing the board to think the unit is hotter than it is.
- Fan relay: Inspect the fan relay on the main control board. If the relay contacts are welded closed, the fan may run continuously; replace the board.
- Firmware behavior: Consult the user manual to confirm normal cool-down duration for your model.
