Avoid Service Checklist
Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The
list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship
or materials in this appliance.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place a level on an oven rack in center of oven. Contact installing
agent if rack is not level.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make oven appear to be not level. Be sure
cabinets are square and level. Contact cabinet maker to correct problem.
Be sure electrical cable is securely connected to the electrical junction box.
Service wiring not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized
servicer.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company.
Short in electrical cable or electrical circuit. Repair as needed.
Controls are not set properly. See instructions under Setting Oven Controls or
Oven Cleaning to set the controls.
House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped immediately following
installation. House fuse may not be fully engaged. Check fuse and screw or engage
circuit breaker securely.
House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped after the oven has been installed
and previously operating. Call an authorized servicer.
Burned-out or loose bulb. Follow the instructions under Changing Oven Light to
replace or tighten the bulb.
Oven door is closed. Door should be open during broiling.
Meat too close to the broiler unit. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance
between the meat and the broiler. Preheat broil element for quick searing operation.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash 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.
Oven needs to be cleaned. Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning
is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used.
Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the
recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot
or cool, see Adjusting Oven Temperature in this Owner's Guide.
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for pie spillovers or for large
amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting
self-clean cycle.
OCCURRENCE
Oven is not level.
Entire Oven Does Not Operate.
Oven Light Does Not Work.
Oven Smokes Excessively During
Broiling.
Poor Baking Results.
