Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: feel whether the exterior housing itself is hotter than usual, not just the interior, which points to a ventilation or fan problem. Should that not clear it, if it still overheats with clear airflow, a thermostat, sensor, or fan has failed, and running it further risks a real fire hazard — this is where to stop and call.
