Should my oven vent out hot air? - Frigidaire Gallery 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Convection Range - White

If you have a gas range they will vent the heat from the oven out the top by the rear panel. If an electric they will generally vent through one of the rear burners. I am sure that this is normal.

It's not the whole installation, just that the vent above does not have one way louvers installed at the top that would prevent cold air from coming down the vent. The purpose of the vent is to exhaust the hot air from the kitchen appliances, I hope!

Wanted to know if you found the answer. I have the same problem.

your ventalation is clogged .

cold air from the fan forced element area in the oven? or from the air vent just above the door? if its from the air vent then this is normal if your oven senses the outside cabinet is getting to hot it will bring on the fan and if its still to hot after u turn it off the fan will continue as its circuit doesnt run through the control knobbs meaning it wont turn off with the oven its controlled via a overload thermostat so the fan will remain on til it gets within its acceptable temp range and the thermostat will cut power to the fan, if it remains on for hours and hours or even days you will be looking at a new thermostat (cheap as dirt like only a few bucks) or worst case a controller

This is the oven cavity extractor fan. It removes all the hot air from the oven cavity and blows it out the front. When the oven is hot and you turn it off the fan will continue to work until the oven cavity cools down.

it is designed to vent out the top, if it didnt it would blow up

It is a good thing that the heat blows out. Electric oven didnt have anywhere to vent so the cpu boards got hot and burned up. So to correct this problem there is a little fan that blow out the heat so the cpu board doesnt over heat. thats all.. no worries mate

The hot air is supposed to come out so you can heat other things. If the oven is loosing heat, try to see if vent has flap, or test the temp sensor

Check the damper at the hood vent exit. Check the vent where it exits the building. I have found some that were stuck shut from the grease that is taken out through them. If end vents are satisfactory, check the entire length of the vent system. Either physically or attach a vacuum to the vent pipe and set it up to blow air. Tape off the ballance of the vent entrance and turn on the vac. Check the exit end for air flow.
