TROUBLESHOOTING Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. Nothing will operate ■■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Oven will not operate ■■ Is the electronic oven control set correctly? See "Electronic Oven Controls" section. ■■ Has a delay start been set? See "Timed Cooking" section. ■■ Is the Control Lock set? See "Control Lock" section. ■■ Is the Sabbath Mode set? See "Sabbath Mode" section. ■■ On double oven models, is one oven self-cleaning? When one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set or turned on. Oven temperature too high or too low ■■ Does the oven temperature calibration need adjustment? See "Oven Temperature Control" section. Warm air coming from oven vent ■■ Warm air coming from the oven vent is normal. During a self-clean cycle, the air stream is increased. ■■ The cooling fan may operate both during an oven's cycle and after the cycle has ended, causing warm air to exit from the oven vent. Display shows messages ■■ Is the display showing a letter followed by a number? Clear the display. See "Display(s)" section. If a letter followed by a number reappears, call for service. See "Warranty" section. Fan runs during Bake function ■■ It is normal for the convection fan and element to operate during Bake mode to enhance performance and heat distribution. Long preheat times ■■ Not all cycles require preheating. See cycle instructions for preheat recommendations. Most cycles preheat to 350°F (177°C) in 12 to 17 minutes. Higher temperatures will take more time. Removing unused oven racks prior to preheating can help reduce preheat time. Self-Cleaning cycle will not operate ■■ Is the oven door open? Close the oven door all the way. ■■ Has the function been entered? See "Self-Cleaning Cycle" section. ■■ On some models, has a delay start Self-Clean cycle been set? See "Self-Cleaning Cycle" section. ■■ Has a delay start been set? See "Timed Cooking" section. ■■ On double oven models, is one oven self-cleaning? When one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set to self-clean. Oven cooking results not what expected ■■ Is the proper temperature set? Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook. ■■ Is the proper oven temperature calibration set? See "Oven Temperature Control" section. ■■ Was the oven preheated? See "Baking and Roasting" section. ■■ Is the proper bakeware being used? See "Bakeware" section. ■■ Are the racks positioned properly? See "Rack and Bakeware Positions" section. ■■ Is there proper air circulation around bakeware? See "Rack and Bakeware Positions" section. ■■ Is the batter evenly distributed in the pan? Check that batter is level in the pan. ■■ Is the proper length of time being used? Adjust cooking time. ■■ Has the oven door been opened while cooking? Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times. ■■ Are baked items too brown on the bottom? Move rack to higher position in the oven. ■■ Are pie crust edges browning early? Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature. Uneven browning of baked items ■■ See "Rack and Bakeware Positions" section. ■■ Center the baking pan(s) on the rack and allow a minimum of 2" (5 cm) of clearance around all sides of the pan(s). ■■ Allow a minimum of 2" (5 cm) of clearance between the oven door and the front edge of baking pans. 16
