any F code error.
Problem Solution
Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls
section.
Be sure oven door is opened to broil stop position when broiling.
Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide
proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil
element for searing.
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary
when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.
Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers
or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive
spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present
see Broil in Setting Oven Controls section.
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press OFF key pad to
clear the error code. Try Bake or Broil function. If the F code error repeats,
remove power from appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance
and set clock with the correct time of day. Try Bake or Broil function again. If
the fault recurs, press OFF to clear and see Assistance or Service section
of manual for assistance contact information.
Oven control not set properly. Review instructions in Self Clean section.

Excessive spillovers on oven bottom. Remove before starting Self 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 self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn
on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started.
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.

from oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild,
abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean
water, dry and replace in oven.
