The cooling fan will continue to run while the oven detects warm air in the cavity. There is no way to deactivate the cooling fan as it is in place for safety, without the cooling fan the handle and front glass would become warm during use. The cooling fan should only run for an hour after you've finished cooking.
This is perfectly normal – the fan can run for up to two hours after cooking. IMPORTANT - Do Not turn the Oven Off at the wall, this may cause the Oven to overheat and trip the safety thermostat or melt the components internally.
One of the most common reasons an oven fan won't turn off is because the fan switch hasn't been turned off. This seems like an obvious solution, but it's one that many people overlook. If your oven fan is still running after you've turned off the oven, double-check that the fan switch is in the “off” position.
In a convection oven, the fan is designed to run continuously during the cooking process to circulate hot air evenly throughout the oven. This helps to cook food more evenly and can reduce cooking times. However, the fan may not run continuously during preheating or when the oven is turned off.
Thank you! There are two reasons that the fan will keep running. One is if the control thinks that the oven is too hot and it keeps the fan running for safety. The other is if the relay that closes to power the fan gets stuck in the closed position.
Only turn on your exhaust fan while cooking. After you're done you can let it run for 10 - 15 minutes to clear out the excess smoke. But don't let it run too long. Otherwise you'll put a lot of strain on the motor.
You should look to replace your oven every 10 - 15 years, depending on the type of oven you own, the overall usage of the oven and the brand of the oven.
The cooling fan in an oven helps cool the oven's controls, but a fan caked with grime or one that's malfunctioning may contribute to an oven overheating.
Cooling fans will turn off automatically once the oven reaches a safe temperature.
If that happens, a simple problem has snowballed into a something worse. Essentially, there are two components that can stop functioning, triggering a failsafe mode that causes the fan to run continuously. The first is the fan relay, which due to age or corrosion will stop switching the fan on and off.
Safety Precaution: The cooling fan is an important safety feature. By continuing to run after the oven is turned off, it helps reduce the temperature of the control knobs, doors and handles.
A frequently asked question is can I still use my oven if the fan is broken? The answer is no – as the oven will quickly overheat and this can be extremely dangerous. The solution is to contact a trusted oven repair provider.
The telltale sign that your oven fan is not working is unevenly cooked food. Because your oven fan is responsible for distributing the heat evenly inside your oven cavity, to ensure your meals are cooked accurately.
It is normal for the oven fan in the control panel to run until the oven is cool. This could take 15 minutes up to even 2 hours, depending on how hot the oven was.
The cooling fan will continue to run while the oven detects warm air in the cavity. There is no way to deactivate the cooling fan as it is in place for safety, without the cooling fan the handle and front glass would become warm during use. The cooling fan should only run for an hour after you've finished cooking.
Q: My fan isn't working - can I still use my fan oven like a normal oven? A: No, unfortunately you can't. Fan-assisted ovens are specifically designed with the heat-distributing effect of the fan in mind.
After a self-cleaning cycle, the oven should open once it has completely cooled. Depending on the age and make of your oven, this can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes. In most cases, if your oven has an automatic lock, then it will also automatically unlock itself once the self-cleaning is finished.
Yes, it is normal to hear your oven fan running when you turn on the oven including during preheat. The fan helps circulate the oven temperatures and will come on and off during the baking process. The fan may stay on after you have finished baking and turned the oven off.
If the oven fan is not shutting off, a relay on the control board may be stuck closed sending constant power to the oven fan. Check the wiring diagram first before replacing the board. Control boards are often misdiagnosed. Need help finding your model number?
Leaving your oven on all night puts you at risk for an oven fire. Not only will you be risking fire hazards, but the gas that comes from your oven can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless. So if you were exposed to carbon monoxide, you might not even know it.
The fan will stop automatically when the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
That being said, fan ovens aren't perfect. Overfilling your fan oven can impact the way air circulated and lead to an uneven cook, while the fan can also make cooking times inaccurate.
