Hotpoint Fan Control or Sensor Feedback Issue

Interior fan runs constantly, even when the set temperature is reached.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Control board programmed for continuous circulation, faulty temperature sensor, stuck fan relay on PCB, shorted fan control output.

Safety: Unplug the appliance before accessing the control board.

Check user manual: Some Hotpoint models are designed to run the fan continuously for even temperature; this may be normal.
Verify temperature stability: If the temperature is stable and within range, continuous fan operation may not indicate a fault.
If temperature is unstable: Test the cabinet sensor and replace if faulty.
Inspect control board: If the fan runs even when the unit is off or unplugged (unlikely), wiring is incorrect. Otherwise, a stuck relay may require board replacement.
