Oven smokes excessively when
broiling.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in the “Broil” on page 17.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.
• Grid on broiler pan wrong side up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always place
the grid on the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip into
the pan.
• Broiler pan used without grid or grid cover with aluminum foil. Do not use the broiler pan
without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Oven needs to be cleared. Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is
necessary when broiling frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive
smoking.
Oven control panel chimes and
displays an F code error.
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the error code.
Try bake or broil function. If the F code error repeats, turn off power to appliance, wait 5
minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake or broil
function again. If fault recurs, press STOP to clear.
Soil not completely removed after
fresh clean.
• Fresh clean was interrupted. Review “Fresh Clean” on page 35.
• Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting fresh clean.
• Failure to clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket,
and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas are not in the
fresh cleaning area, but they get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas
before starting the fresh clean cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon
brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
• If your oven is cooking poorly, perform the following check: Press UPPER OVEN, press
broil, then press START enter. Place your hand near the handle on the oven door.
Between the door and the control panel you should feel a rush of air on your hand. If so,
your unit is functioning properly and you have had a power failure in your home. If no air
rush happens, call a service technician to replace your cooling fan.
Fan noise occurring after the oven is
turned off.
• Some models are 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.
