TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Excessive smoking during
broiling
Food too close to broil 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.
"DOOR LOCKING" flashes
in the display
The self-clean cycle has been selected
but the door is not closed.
Close the oven door.
DOOR LOCKED 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.
Oven or cooktop will not
stay set.

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 convection fan may automatically turn
on and off.
This is normal. The fan is designed to operate intermittently to
maximize cooking evenness. The convection fan will operate
during preheat of the bake cycle. The fan will turn off after the
oven is heated to the set temperature. This is normal.
A cooling fan may automatically turn on
and off.
This is normal on some models. The cooling fan will turn
off and on to cool internal parts. It may run 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).
Display flashes Power failure. Reset the clock.
