POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
(1) Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CLEAR pad to clear the display
and stop the display from beeping. Reprogram the oven. If a fault reoccurs, record the fault
number, push the CLEAR pad and contact an authorized servicer.
(1) The door was left open and controls set for self-cleaning cycle. Close the door and push
both upper and lower oven CLEAR pads.
(1) Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Contact installing
agent if rack and cabinet cutout flooring are not level. (2) Kitchen cabinet misalignment may
make oven appear to be not level. Be sure cabinets are square and level. Contact cabinet
maker to correct problem.
(1) When the oven is first plugged in, or when the power supply to the oven has been
interrupted, the display will flash. The oven cannot be programmed until the clock is set.
(2) Be sure electrical cord is securely connected into the electrical junction box. (3) Cord/
plug is not installed and/or connected. Cord is not supplied with oven. Contact your dealer,
installing agent or authorized servicer. (4) Service wiring not complete. Contact your dealer,
installing agent or authorized servicer. (5) Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call
your local electric company. (6) Short in cord/plug. Replace cord/plug. (7) Controls are not
set properly. See instructions under Setting Oven Controls to set the controls. (8) House
fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped immediately following installation. House fuse
may not be fully engaged. Check fuse and screw or engage circuit breaker securely. (9)
House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped after the oven has been installed and
previously operating. Call an authorized servicer.
(1) Burned-out or loose bulb. Follow the instructions under Changing Oven Light to replace
or tighten the bulb.
(1) Oven door is closed. Door should be open during broiling. (2) Meat too close to the broiler
unit. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between the meat and the broiler.
Preheat broil element for quick searing operation. (3) Meat not properly prepared. Remove
excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into
the lean. (4) Grid on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always
place the grid on your broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip
into the pan. (5) Broiler pan used without grid or grid cover with foil. DO NOT use your broiler
pan without the grid or cover the grid with foil. (6) Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has
built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old
grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
(1) Many factors affect baking results. See Baking for hints, causes and corrections. See
Adjusting Oven Temperature.
(1) Make sure the oven door is close. (2) Controls not set properly. Follow instructions. (3)
Self-cleaning cycle was interrupted. Stop time must be set 2-4 hours past the start time.
Follow steps under "To Stop or Interrupt a Self-Cleaning Cycle" in the Timer Control Guide.
(1) Failure to clean bottom, from top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal.
These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get not enough to burn on residue. Clean
these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started. Burned on residue can be cleaned with
a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
(2) Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning time.
(1) Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures, pie
spillovers or for large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers.
