AVOID SERVICE CHECK LIST

Before you call for service - read this

You may save the cost and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call by first reviewing this easy to use Avoid- Service Check List of the most frequently encountered situations that are not the result of defective workmanship of materials.

You will be charged for a service call while the appliance is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective product workmanship or materials.

Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product. Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for service requires nothing more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal operating characteristic of appliance under certain conditions.

This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.

cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance (1.3 cm (1/2”) each

 

side).
