BEFORE YOU CALL 

(Solutions to Common Problems)

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Range is not level.

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.

Weak, unstable fl oor. Be sure fl oor is level and can adequately support range. If fl oor is sagging or 

slopping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and 

have suffi cient room for range clearance.

Cannot move 

appliance easily. 

Appliance must be 

accessible for service.

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.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide suffi cient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a fl exible C.S.A international approved metal appliance connector 

installed.

Entire range or oven 

does not operate.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete. Call an authorized servicer.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

Oven control beeps 

and displays any F 

code error (ex.: F11)

Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press 

Cancel

 to clear the display and stop beeping. 

Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press 

Cancel

 and call an authorized servicer for 

assistance.

Oven light does not 

work.

Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Guide.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

Surface burners do not 

light.

Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob 

to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control to desired fl ame size.

Be sure gas supply valve is open.
Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean ports 

or slots.
Power cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models). Be sure cord is plugged securely into 

outlet.
Electrical  power  outage  (electric  ignition  models).  Burners  can  be  lit  manually.  See  Setting  Surface 

Controls in this Owner’s Guide.

Surface burner fl ame 

burns half way around.

Burner ports or slots are clogged. With the burner off, clean ports with a small-gauge wire or needle to 

clean ports or slots.

Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the fl ame and allow burner to operate until fl ame is full. 

Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under General Cleaning. 

Surface burner fl ame 

is orange.

Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until fl ame turns blue. 
In coastal areas, a slightly orange fl ame is unavoidable due to salt air.

Poor baking results.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center food in the 

oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before 

placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipes’ recommended temperature or baking time. If you 

feel the oven is too hot or cool, see "Adjusting Your Oven Temperature" section in the Electronic Oven 

Control Guide.

Fan noise during 

cooking operation.

A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal, and the fan may 

continue to run even after oven is turned off.

IMPORTANT

Before you call for service,

 review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common
