Before You Call

•Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

 

Range is not level.

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust

 

 

leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are

 

 

square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

 

 

 

 

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance

Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make

appliance accessible.

display and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press

 

 

the STOP key pad and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ® for assistance (See back cover).

 

 

 

 

 

Surface element too hot or not hot enough.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the element to be used.

 

 

 

 

 

Surface element does not heat.

Lightweight or warped pans used. 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in

 

 

this Before You Call checklist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is set for the surface element to

 

 

be used.

 

 

 

 

 

Entire appliance does not operate.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. Check circuit breakers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Service wiring is not complete. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ® for assistance (See back

 

 

cover).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

service.

 

 

 

ESEC displays “ - - “ message.

The ESEC Control will display “ - - “ in the digital display windows indicating that the

 

 

ESEC has a “Lockout” condition. This condition is normal when using the cooktop

 

 

lockout or Self-Clean features. Wait for the Self-Clean cycle to completely finish or if

 

 

using the Cooktop Lockout feature, touch the CLOCK key pad for 3 seconds to

 

 

unlock the cooktop.

ENGLISH

ESEC displays any “F” message.

The ESEC control constantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the ESEC will immediately stop the current operation and flash an error code. If any of these error messages remain or reappear in the display, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®(See back cover).
