PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

RANGE DOES NOT OPERATE

Surface elements do not heat.

No power to range. Check steps “Entire range does not operate” above.

Control knobs set too low. At very low heat settings of the control knobs, the surface signal light may come on; however, surface unit does not operate. Turn the control knob to a slightly higher setting until the elements start heating.

Coil elements not seated properly in terminals. Turn temperature control knobs to OFF. Pull out and lift up coil elements. Straighten terminals on end of coil element if necessary. Replace elements properly into the element block.

Incorrect surface control knob turned on. Make sure the correct surface control is on for the surface unit to be used.

The automatic lock off of the surface element is on (models with self-cleaning oven only). During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements, when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life, a safeguard locks off the use of the surface element during the self clean cycle. Once the oven cleaning cycle is complete and the oven door can be opened, the surface elements can be utilized. Cancel the self clean cycle.

Oven light does not work.

Burned-out light bulb. See “Oven Lamp” in the “General Information” section.

Control panel light does not oper- ate (some models).

Lamp loose in sockets or burned-out. See Fluorescent Lamp in General Information section.

SURFACE UNITS

Surface elements too hot or too cold.

Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is obtained.

Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced, medium or heavy-weight cookware. Pans having a flat bottom heat better than warped pans. Cookware material affects heating. Heavy and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because light-weight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

Liquids boil at LOW setting of sur- face units.

Incorrect setting of the control knob. Turn control knob to a lower setting.

Cooking on right rear element. When the oven is operating, heated air escapes through the oven vent located directly under the right rear end coil element or little behind it. This will increase the heat input.

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (some models)

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop

NOTE: Clean sugary food spills on the heating surfaces as soon as possible, as these can cause cratering of these surfaces when hot.
