Troubleshooting tips ...
Before you call for service
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Problem
Possible Cause
What To Do
My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one.
Is something wrong
with the temperature
settings?
Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore
may cook differently than your old oven.
NOTE:
Food does not bake
properly
Oven controls improperly set.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is
not level.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of
improper size being used.
Oven temperature needs adjustment.
.
Ingredient substitution
Food does not broil
properly
Oven controls improperly set.
Improper rack position being used.
Food being cooked in a hot pan.
Cookware not suited for broiling.
Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan
and grid has not been fitted properly and
slit as recommended.
In some areas the power
(voltage)
may be low.
Oven temperature too
hot or too cold
Oven temperature needs adjustment.
Oven does not work or
appears not to work
A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.
Oven controls improperly set.
Oven is in Sabbath Mode.
“Crackling” or
“popping” sound
This is the sound of the metal heating
and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.
Why is my range
making a "clicking"
noise when using my
oven?
Your range has been designed to maintain
a tighter control over your oven's
temperature. You may hear your oven's
heating elements "click" on and off more
frequently than in older ovens to achieve
better results during baking, broiling,
convection, and self-clean cycles.
Clock and timer do not
work
A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.
Oven light does not
work
Light bulb is loose or defective.
Pad operating light is broken.
Oven will not self-clean
The temperature is too high to set a self-
clean operation.
Oven controls improperly set.
Excessive smoking
during clean cycle
Excessive soil or grease.
