What Control Knobs Getting Too Hot means

On current Bertazzoni Professional, Master and Heritage ranges, such as the PRO366BCFGMXT, the control knobs can warm up when the oven is used with the door open. The advice is to keep the oven door shut when not in use or when grilling and broiling. Cooking with the door open lets heat rise to the control panel. The owner feels hot knobs and sometimes a warm backguard.

Common causes of Control Knobs Getting Too Hot

  • The oven door left open during or after cooking
  • Broiling with the door ajar when the door should be closed for that function
  • A door that no longer seals because of a gasket or hinge problem
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the oven door fully during cooking, broiling and after use. 2. Turn the oven off and let the knobs cool before touching them. 3. Check the door seal for gaps or damage. 4. If the knobs get hot with the door closed, stop and call us.

! Why to stop there
  • Hot knobs can burn fingers and wear the plastic over time.
  • A leaking door seal points to a repair, not a knob problem.
  • Any wiring behind the control panel is live and warm, so it is not an owner job.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Control Knobs Getting Too HotControl Knobs Getting Too Hot questions
Is it normal for the knobs to warm up?

A little warmth is normal during a long cook. They should not become painfully hot with the oven door closed, so if they do, first check for a door left open or a door that is leaking heat.

Does the cooling fan help?

Yes, the cooling fan keeps the controls cool and may keep running for up to 30 minutes after the oven is off. A fan that does not run at all is a separate problem and should be looked at.

Can you check the door seal?

Yes. We inspect the door gasket and hinges to see where heat is escaping toward the knobs, give the price in writing before replacing anything, and warrant our work for 30 days.
