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.

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.

■ On some models, is the oven control lockout set?

Oven cooking results not what expected

See “Control Lockout” section.

■ Is the proper temperature set?

Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.

Oven temperature too high or too low

■Does the oven temperature calibration need adjustment? See “Oven Temperature Control” section.

■On some models, does the cooling fan run during BAKE, BROIL or CLEAN?

It is normal for the fan to automatically run when the oven is in use. This helps cool the electronic control.

■Is the proper oven temperature calibration set? See “Oven Temperature Control” section.

■Was the oven preheated? See “Baking” section.

■Is the proper bakeware being used? See “Bakeware” section.

■Are the racks positioned properly?

See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

Oven indicator lights flash

■Do the oven indicator lights flash?

See the “Display” and/or the “Oven Lights” section. If the indicator light(s) keeps flashing, call for service. See “Assistance or Service” section.

■Is there proper air circulation around bakeware? See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” 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.

Display shows messages

■Is the display showing a flashing time?

There has been a power failure. Clear the display. See “Display(s)” section. On some models, reset the clock, if needed. See “Clock” section.

■Is the display showing a letter followed by a number? Depending on your model, press OFF/CANCEL, OFF or CANCEL/OFF to clear the display. See “Display(s)” section. If it reappears, call for service. See “Assistance or Service” section.

■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.
