Troubleshooting guide
Before you call a repair person for your oven, check
this list of possible problems and solutions.
Neither the oven’s display nor the
oven operate.
Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.
If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make
sure the wall switch is turned on.
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds,
then plug it in again.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other
appliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electrician
repair the outlet.
Plug the oven into a different outlet.
The oven’s display works, but the
power won’t come on.
Make sure the door is closed securely.
Check to see if packing material or other material is
stuck to the door seal.
Check for door damage.
Press
STOP/CLEAR pad twice and re-enter all
cooking instructions.
The power goes off before the set
time has elapsed.
If there has not been a power outage, remove the
plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug
it in again. If there was a power outage, the time
indicator will display:
PLEASE TOUCH CLOCK
AND SET TIME OF DAY. Reset the clock and any
cooking instructions.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
The food is cooking too slowly.
Make sure the oven is on its own 15 amp circuit
line do not extension cord. Operating another
appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage
drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

You see sparks or arcing.
Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal
ties.
The turntable makes noises or
sticks.
Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.
Make sure the turntable and roller ring are
positioned correctly.
Using your microwave causes TV
or radio interference.
This is similar to the interference caused by other
small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your
microwave further away from other appliances, like
your TV or radio.
NOTE: If the oven is set to cook for more than 5
minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent
power after 5 minutes to avoid overcooking.
If none of these items are causing your problem,
call Sears service at 1-800-4-MY-HOME ®
