    Why does the fan on my oven keep running after I have turned it off?

    If you notice that the fan in your oven continues to run even after you’ve switched it off, there’s no need for concern. This is a normal function of many modern ovens. Here’s why it happens:

    • Cooling Fan Functionality: The fan you hear is actually a cooling fan located behind the control panel. Its primary purpose is to help dissipate heat generated during the cooking process. When the oven is in use it can reach high temperatures, and the cooling fan helps lower these temperatures to ensure safe operation.
    • 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.
    • Automatic Shutoff: The fan will run until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. The duration for which it remains on can vary depending on how long the oven was used and the temperature it reached. Once the oven cools to a safe temperature, the fan will automatically turn off.
    • Operational Noise: While the sound of the fan may be noticeable, it's important to remember that this is normal and indicates that the oven is functioning as intended.

    If the fan continues to run for an unusually long time or if you notice any other unusual behaviours, it may be worth consulting your appliance manual or contacting customer care for further assistance.
