Problem

Possible Cause

What To Do

Excessive smoking 
during clean cycle

Excessive soil or grease.

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.

Excessive smoking 
during broiling

Food too close to burner element.

Lower the rack position of the food.

Oven door will not 
open after a clean 
cycle

Oven too hot.

Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.

Oven not clean after 
a clean cycle

Oven controls improperly set.

See the Cleaning the Oven section.

Oven was heavily soiled.

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.

"LOCK DOOR" 
flashes in the 
display

The self-clean cycle has been selected 
but the door is not closed.

Close the oven door.

LOCKED light is on 
when you want to 
cook

The oven door is locked because the 
temperature inside the oven has not 
dropped below the locking temperature.

Press the 

Cancel/Off

 pad. Allow the oven to cool.

“F— and a number 
or letter” flash in 
the display

You have a function error code.

Press the 

Cancel/Off

 pad. Allow the oven to cool for one 

hour. Put the oven back into operation.

If the function code repeats.

Disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 
seconds and then reconnect power. If the function 
error code repeats, call for service.

Display goes blank

A fuse in your home may be blown or the 
circuit breaker tripped.

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

The clock is turned off.

See the Special Features

 

section.

Oven is in Sabbath Mode.

Verify that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. 
See the Special Features section.

Power outage, 
clock flashes

Power outage or surge

 

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.

“Burning” or “oily” 
odor emitting from 
the vent

This is normal in a 

 

new oven and will 

disappear in time. 

To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a 
minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven 
section.

Strong odor

An odor from the insulation around 
the inside of the oven is normal for the 
first few times the oven is used. 

This is temporary and will go away after several uses 
or a self-clean cycle.

Fan noise

A cooling fan may automatically turn 
on.

This is normal. The cooling fan will turn on to cool 
internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2 hours after the 
oven is turned off.

My oven door glass 
appears to be 
"tinted" or have a 
"rainbow" color. Is 
this defective?

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.

This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may 
see this tint or rainbow color.

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.

Different cooking modes

The different cooking modes use different preheat 
methods to heat the oven for the specific cooking 
mode. Some modes will take longer than others (i.e. 
convection bake multi).
