# Fisher & Paykel oven fan keeps running after it is turned off

A fan that carries on after the oven is off, sometimes for a long time. The maker publishes an article on it because it worries people, and on a built-in oven it is exactly what should happen — with two exceptions worth knowing.

Five ordinary causes

## What this usually turns out to be

Cheapest and commonest first, which is also the order we check them in. They sit hundreds of dollars apart, and only the unit settles which one is yours.

- Normal cool-down

													The design. The fan protects the electronics and the cabinetry around the oven, and it decides when it is done rather than running on a timer.

### Normal cool-down

The design. The fan protects the electronics and the cabinetry around the oven, and it decides when it is done rather than running on a timer.

- A very long cool-down after self-clean

													Also normal, and the version people report most. The cavity was far hotter than usual.

None of it needs tools, and all of it makes the visit shorter.

- 01

												Wait until the oven is properly cold

													Hours, not minutes. If the fan stops then, nothing is wrong.

												Check what the oven last did

- “It has become louder than it was”
In more detail

## About Fisher & Paykel oven fan keeps running after it is turned off

### The fastest diagnosis is the code

Let it finish. On a built-in oven the electronics sit in the same box as the cavity, and the cooling fan runs on until the temperature comes down — after a self-clean cycle that can be a long time. Two things are worth a call and the rest is not: a fan that never stops on a completely cold oven, and a fan that has become noticeably louder than it used to be.

### Why a built-in oven has to cool itself

Because it lives in a box. A freestanding oven can shed heat into a room; an oven built into a tall housing shares that housing with its own control board and with your cabinetry. The **cooling fan runs on until the temperature is down**, and it decides when that is rather than running for a set time.

### The two versions that are symptoms

**A fan that never stops** on a genuinely cold oven — usually the sensor that decides when to stop. And **a fan that has got louder** — a bearing on its way out, which is a warning worth acting on because a cooling fan that seizes leaves the electronics unprotected.

### The installation angle

A housing cut without the ventilation the instructions asked for makes every cool-down longer and every summer worse. On a kitchen renovated around an existing oven it is common, and it is a carpentry job rather than an appliance repair.

Before you book

## Questions about fisher & Paykel oven fan keeps running after it is turned off

Overnight is too long. After ordinary cooking, tens of minutes is normal; after a self-clean cycle it can be a couple of hours. A fan still running on a cold oven the next morning is the version worth calling about, and it is usually the sensor that decides when to stop rather than the fan itself.

No — it is a small fan. What it is doing is protecting a control board and the cabinetry the oven is built into, both of which are considerably more expensive than the running cost. It is one of the few appliance behaviors where the annoying thing is also the useful one.

That is the one to act on. A fan bearing gives you exactly this warning before it fails, and a cooling fan that stops leaves the electronics with no protection. Louder is the right moment to call rather than the moment after.
