Problem Possible Cause What To Do
My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one. Is
something wrong with the
temperature settings? Your new oven has a different
cooking system from your old
oven and therefore may cook
differently than your old oven. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and
temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven
is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature
yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.

“Crackling” or “popping”
sound This is the sound of the metal
heating and cooling during both
the cooking and cleaning functions. This is normal.
Why is my range making
a "clicking" noise when
using my oven? Your range has been designed
to maintain a tighter control over
your oven's temperature. You may
hear your oven's heating elements
"click" on and off more frequently
than in older ovens to achieve
better results during baking,
broiling, and self-clean cycles. This is normal.
Clock and timer do not
work A fuse in your home may be blown
or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Sometimes the oven takes
longer to preheat to the
same temperature Cookware or food in oven The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven
to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce
preheat time.
Number of racks in oven Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to
take longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
