Oven problems
Problem

Solution

Display shows an error code (“Err
XX”)

A fault has been detected. Record the fault code and call tech-

nical support.

Installation

Place the rack in the center of the oven. Place a level on the

oven rack. Contact installing agent if rack and or cabinet are

not level
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make the range appear to

be not level. Be sure cabinets are square and level. Contact the

cabinetmaker to correct the problem.

Entire range does not operate

Make sure the electrical cord is securely connected inside the

electrical junction box.
Cord/plug is not installed and/or connected. Cord is not sup-

plied with the range. Contact your dealer, installing agent or

authorized servicer.
Service wiring not complete. Contact your dealer, installing

agent or authorized servicer.
Power outage. Check the house lights to be sure. Call your

local electric company. Short in cord/plug. Replace cord/plug.
Controls are not set properly. See instructions to set the con-

trols.
House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped immedi-

ately following installation.
House fuse may not be fully engaged. Check fuse and screw or

engage circuit breaker securely.

Oven lights do not work

Burned-out or loose bulb. Follow the instructions under Oven

Light to replace or tighten the bulb.

Poor cooking results

Many factors affect baking results. See “Oven cooking tips” for

hints, cause and corrections.
Adjust the recipe’s recommended power levels or cooking

times.
Cookware is too lightweight or warped. Use heavier quality

cookware so foods being prepared may cook more evenly.

Fan noise when the appliance is off

This range is equipped with a cooling fan that runs during the

cooking process to cool internal electronic components. It is

normal for this fan to continue to run for an extended period

of time, even when the oven is off.

Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vents

Excessive spillovers in oven. For example, this will happen for

pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bot-

tom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before switching on the

oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present see “Broil func-

tion tips” in the Setting Oven cooking tips section.
