Solutions to Common Problems
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
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 rack is level. When
range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level
(See the Slide-In Installation Instructions) .
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range.
Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure
cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to
correct the problem.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be
lifted over carpet.
Make sure cord/plug is tightly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric
company for service.
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller.
Among the many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The
controller constantly monitors the internal circuitry as well as several crucial
oven circuits to insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of
these systems fails, the controller will immediately stop the current operation
and beep continuously (flashing an error code of "F1, F2, F3" or "F9" in the
controller display window.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press CLEAR/OFF to clear
the display and stop beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault remains, record fault
number. Press CLEAR/OFF and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® (See back cover).
