Cooling fan runs during baking, broiling or cleaning
■ It is normal for the fan to automatically run while the oven is in
use or for some time after the oven is shut off to cool the
electronic control.
Gas range noises during Bake and Broil operations
Noises that may be heard during the Bake and Broil operations:
Whooshing, Poof, Clicking, Snaps, Pop
These sounds are normal operational noises that can be heard
each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the cycle.
■ A pop can be heard when the gas valve is opening or cycling
on and will make a single pop when it snaps open from the
solenoid. It sounds similar to a suction cup being pulled off of
a piece of glass.
■ The igniters will click several times until the flame is detected.
These are short clicking sounds like tapping a nail onto a
piece of glass.
■ A whooshing or poof sound is heard when the Bake or Broil
burner ignites.
■ On some models, a clicking sound can be heard when the
convection fan relay cycles on and off.
