Problem Solution
Oven control panel beeps and
displays error codes
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. When this occurs an E or F will
show in the display.
• Turn both oven selectors to the OFF position; Activate a Bake or Broil using both
the oven mode and temperature selectors.
• If the F or E 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 a fault code appear again, turn both oven
selectors to the OFF position to clear the error code and contact your servicer.
Poor baking results • Many factors effect baking results.
