Before you carl 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.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.

Oven control beeps and displays any F code error (for example Fll).

Surface element too hot or not hot enough.

Surface element does not heat.

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.

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

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

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press STOP/C LEAR to clear the display and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press STOP/ CLEAR and call 1-800=4=MY=HOME® for assistance (See back cover).

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

Entire appliance does not operate.
