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.

OCCURRENCEPOSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance

easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.

Entire range or oven does not operate.

Surface element does not

heat.

Surface element too hot or

not hot enough.

Triple or dual radiant element doesn't glow evenly.

Food not heating evenly.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.

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 rack is level (See installation instructions). When range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level.

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

Make sure cord/plug is inserted tightly into outlet.

Service wiring is not complete. Contact your Sears Service Center, installing agent or qualified servicer.

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

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire range or oven does not operate" in this BeforeYou Call checklist.

Too low heat setting. Turn control to a slightly higher setting until element comes on.

Incorrect control is on. Be sure to use correct control for the element to be used.

Incorrect control setting. Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is obtained. Dial markings are an indicator of relativeheat settings and will vary slightly.

Voltage is incorrect. Be sure appliance is properly connected to the power source specified in the installation instructions. Ifyou are not sure about this requirement call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for service (See back cover).

Lightweight or warped pans were used. Be sure to use proper cookware. Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced medium or heavyweight cookware. Heavy and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
