Hello, I have a 25-epi built 2013 The stove runs fine for hours, then the room fan stops running. near the control panel on the left it gets very hot. I am wondering is there is a temperature sensor malfunctioning? or another possible issue?
 
Mine was doing the same thing. I had to pull my temp sensor and clean it up as I don't think it was transferring heat really well to tell the board to activate the room fan. Since I did that, its been behaving.

Thanks Eric for the reply!
I am assuming that you are referring to he small whit shielded cable that connects to the exhaust fan from the control board.
When you say you cleaned it, do you mean just remove it and dust it off?

Keith,

That's the one! I took mine off, hit it with some sand paper to clean both sides up, then used some thermal paste to prevent oxidation and help with heat transfer.
