Switch the oven off and let it cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my KitchenAid show 4d21 when I can hear a fan running? The fan may be turning, just not fast enough. KitchenAid measures its speed, and a worn or obstructed fan can still be audible. ### Should I stop using my KitchenAid after 4d21? Yes, until it is checked. The cooling fan protects the controls and nearby cabinets from heat. --- **[Read on the site: KitchenAid wall oven showing 4d21 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/kitchenaid-4d21/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
