Hotpoint Oven fan won't turn off

When your Hotpoint oven fan won't turn off, the oven fan may keep running because a relay on the oven control board is stuck closed and continuously powering the fan circuit. The control board is the top repair possibility, although it should be checked carefully because control boards are often misdiagnosed. A relay on the main control board can cause the same oven fan not turning off symptom, especially if the cooling fan keeps running after the oven has been turned off and has fully cooled. Keep in mind that a normal cooling period can last more than an hour, particularly after cooking at a high temperature. If the fan continues running beyond that period, test the high-limit thermostat with a multimeter. A defective high-limit thermostat or thermostat can continue sending voltage to the fan after the oven cools. Review the wiring diagram before replacing any board, and disconnect power before testing or servicing your Hotpoint range. Enter your model number to find the exact oven control board, main control board, high-limit thermostat, or thermostat replacement part for your specific appliance.

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

03 - Hotpoint 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 - Hotpoint 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 - Hotpoint 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.
