The automatic cooling fan should run when the oven is in use and/or after the cycle completes.
To hear the automatic cooling fan move air when the oven is in use and/or the cycle completes.
The cooling fan can run for extended periods depending on the internal and external temperatures.

What it's doing?

It helps to cool the enclosed oven cavity and the electronic controls when the oven is in use and/or after the cycle completes.
Keeps the electronic controls cool during oven functions such as BAKE, BROIL, or CLEAN.
It may run for extended periods depending on the internal and external temperature.
