Possible Causes
Stuck cooling fan relay on control board, Shorted fan wiring, Faulty temperature sensor near control area, Control board logic fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the control area.
- Allow full cool-down: Ensure the oven is completely cool; some fans run until a safe temperature is reached.
- Inspect control board: Remove the control panel and inspect the board for stuck or burnt fan relay. Replace the control board if the relay is welded closed.
- Check fan wiring: Look for shorts that could be feeding the fan directly. Repair as needed.
- Sensor check: If a separate sensor controls the fan, test it according to the service manual and replace if misreading.
