*Oven control beeps continuously with no indicator lights flashing. (If model is equipped with a display, F1 or F3 will show.)

This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the display window, if equipped). Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to OFF, and disconnect the power to the range. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power. If fault recurs, disconnect the power and contact an authorized servicer.
