KitchenAid Oven fan won't turn off

If your KitchenAid oven fan won't turn off, the oven fan may keep running because a relay in the oven control board or main control board is stuck closed and continues sending power to the fan motor. However, control boards are often misdiagnosed, so check the wiring diagram and oven thermostats before replacing a board. In many cases, the cooling fan running for an hour or more after the oven is turned off is normal, especially after high-temperature cooking. If the oven has cooled completely and the fan still runs, a defective high-limit thermostat may be sending constant voltage to the fan. A failed thermostat with contacts stuck closed can cause the same oven fan problem. Use a multimeter to test the high-limit thermostat for proper continuity before ordering parts. Whether your KitchenAid oven fan keeps running or the oven fan won't turn off after cooling, enter your model number to find the exact replacement oven control board, main control board, high-limit thermostat, or thermostat for your specific range, stove, or oven.

01 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

03 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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.
