Admiral Oven fan won't turn off

Won’t your Admiral oven fan turn off? First allow extra time for normal cooling. The oven cooling fan may run for more than an hour after the Admiral range, stove, or oven is turned off, especially after cooking at a high temperature. If the oven fan keeps running after the oven has cooled completely, a stuck relay in the oven control board or main control board may be sending continuous voltage to the fan motor. Control boards are often misdiagnosed, so check the wiring diagram and test the oven thermostats before replacing one. A defective high-limit thermostat or thermostat can also keep supplying power to the oven fan after the oven cools. Use a multimeter to test each thermostat for proper continuity based on its operating temperature. If the fan remains on and the thermostat tests correctly, the control board or main control board may need replacement. Whether you are troubleshooting an oven fan not turning off or an oven fan that keeps running, enter your Admiral model number to find the exact replacement part for your range, stove, or oven.

01 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board

The oven control board has relays that regulate power to the bake, broil and fan circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If one of these relays shorts out, the control board may send continuous voltage to the oven fan. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the control board, first check the oven thermostats. If an oven thermostat fails, it may cause the oven fan to run continuously.

02 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

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.

03 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board has relays that send voltage to the fan motor. If one of the control board relays shorts closed, the control board may send continuous voltage to the fan. If the fan continues to run after the oven is turned off and cooled down, the main control board is likely defective. If the control board is defective, replace it.

04 - Normal Cooling Down Period

The oven cooling fan may run well over an hour after the oven is shut off to cool down the components. The hotter the temperature was set the longer the cooling fan needs to run to cool off the oven. This is normal.

05 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven High Limit Thermostat

The high limit thermostat sends voltage to the oven fan as the oven heats up. If the high limit thermostat is defective, it may keep sending voltage to the oven fan after the oven has cooled down. To determine if the high limit thermostat is at fault, use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If the high limit thermostat does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Admiral Range/Stove/Oven Thermostat

The thermostat sends voltage to the oven fan as the oven heats up. If the thermostat contacts are stuck closed, the thermostat may continue to send voltage to the oven fan after the oven has cooled down. To determine if the thermostat is at fault, use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If the thermostat shows continuity at any temperature, this indicates that the thermostat is defective. If the thermostat is defective, replace it.
