Possible Cause
Your range cycles the heating
elements by turning relays on and off
to maintain the oven temperature.
A fuse in your home may be blown or
the circuit breaker tripped.
Plug on range is not completely
inserted in the electrical outlet.
Oven controls improperly set.
Power cord may be obstructing
drawer in the lower back of the range.
Rear drawer support is on top of the
guide rail.
The door is out of position.
Light bulb is loose or defective.
Pad operating light is broken.
The temperature is too high to set a
self-clean operation.
Oven controls improperly set.
Excessive soil or grease.
Food too close to burner element.
Oven too hot.
Oven controls improperly set.
Oven was heavily soiled.
The self-clean cycle has been
selected but the door is not closed.
The oven door is locked because
the temperature inside the oven
has not dropped below the locking
temperature.
You have a function error code.
If the function code repeats.
A fuse in your home may be blown or
the circuit breaker tripped.
The clock is turned off.
Oven is in Sabbath Mode.
Power outage or surge
This is normal in a new oven and will
disappear in time.
An odor from the insulation around
the inside of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is used.
A convection fan may automatically
turn on and off.
No. The inner oven glass is coated
with a heat barrier to reflect the heat
back into the oven to prevent heat
loss and keep the outer door cool
while baking.
What To Do
This is normal.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Make sure electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet.
Reposition the drawer and power cord. See the Storage Drawer Removal
instructions in the Care and cleaning of the range section.
Reposition the drawer. See the Storage Drawer Removal instructions in the
Care and cleaning of the range section.
Because the oven door is removable, it sometimes gets out of position
during installation. To straighten the door, re-install the door. See the "Lift-
Off Oven Door" instructions in the "Care and Cleaning" section.
Tighten or replace bulb.
Call for service.
Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.
See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Press the Cancel/Off pad. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait
until the LOCKED light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle.
Lower the rack position of the food.
Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.
See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. Heavily soiled
ovens may need to self-clean again or for a longer period of time.
Close the oven door. Latch the door.
Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool.
Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool for one hour. Put the oven
back into operation.
Disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 seconds and then reconnect
power. If the function error code repeats, call for service.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
See the Special features section.
Verify that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the Special Features section.
Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by pressing the
Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting any cooking function.
To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See
the Cleaning the Oven section.
This is temporary and will go away after several uses or a self-clean cycle.
This is normal. The fan is designed to operate intermittently to maximize
cooking evenness. The convection fan will operate during preheat of
the bake cycle. The fan will turn off after the oven is heated to the set
temperature. This is normal.
