Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems:

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the

problem listed.

Problem Cause / Solution

Entire appliance does not operate. Appliance not connected. Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet. Check your

fuse box or breaker box to make sure the circuit is active.

Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for

service outage information.

Oven Problems

Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven

and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the set temperature before

placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking

time. See “Adjusting oven temperature” on page 22 if you feel the oven is too hot or too

cool.

Flames inside oven or smoking from

oven vent.

Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up

excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using

broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 21.

Oven smokes excessively when

broiling.

Incorrect setting. Follow the “Setting Broil” instructions on page 21.

Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to provide proper

clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut

remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.

Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

Oven control panel beeps and displays

any F or E code error.

Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. To clear the error, press the OFF key on the

control panel. Once the error code is cleared, try the bake or broil function. If the F or E code error

repeats, turn off the power to appliance, wait 5 minutes, and then repower the appliance. Set the clock

with correct time of day. Try the bake or broil function again. If the fault recurs, press the OFF key to

clear.

Oven portion of appliance does not

operate.

The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the oven. See “Setting

Clock” on page 17.

Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See “Oven Controls”

starting on page 17 and review instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual or

see “Entire appliance does not operate.” in this checklist.

Cooktop Problems

Surface element is too hot or not hot

enough.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Surface element does not heat or

does not heat evenly.

Be sure the correct surface control knob is turned on for the element needed.

Cookware is light weight or warped. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight

cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the

material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight

pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting. Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, will cause corrosion if allowed to stand in/on bowls.

When cool, remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spill.

Normal environment - Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls

as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
