POSSIBLE CAUSES
Range is not level.
The temperature set was
incorrect.
Oven temperature is calibrated
incorrectly.
Oven was not preheated.
Racks were positioned
improperly.
Not enough air circulation around
bakeware
Darker browning of food caused
by dull or dark bakeware
Lighter browning of food caused
by shiny or light colored
bakeware
Batter distributed unevenly in pan
Incorrect length of cooking time
was used.
Oven door was not closed.
Oven door was opened during
cooking.
Rack is too close to bake burner,
making baked items too brown
on bottom.
Pie crusts browning too quickly
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Wet burner
These sounds are normal
operational noises that can be
heard each time the Bake or Broil
burners ignite during the cycle.
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.
Convection fan relay is cycling on
and off (on some models).
Bake or Broil burner is igniting.
Range converted improperly
SOLUTIONS
Level the range. See the Installation Instructions.
Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook.
See "Oven Temperature Control" in the "Electronic Oven
Controls" section.
See "Baking and Roasting" section.
See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
See "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher
position in the oven.
Move rack to a lower position in the oven.
Check that batter is level in the pan. Level the range if
necessary. See the Installation Instructions.
Adjust cooking time.
Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing.
Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer
cooking times.
Move rack to higher position in the oven.
Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce
baking temperature.
SOLUTIONS
Allow it to dry.
