Avoid Service Checklist
Beforeyou 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.
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven controller. Among its
many features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly
monitors its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits to insure they are
all operating correctly. If at any time one of these systems fails, the controller will
immediately stop operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or
F3* in the display window, if equipped).
OCCURRENCE
POSSIBLE
CAUSE/SOLUTION
Range is not level.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack.
Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot
move appliance
easily.
Appliance
must be accessible for
service.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make
appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over
carpet.
*Oven control beeps continuously
with no indicator
lights flashing. (If
model is equipped with a display, F1
or F3 will show.)
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the Temperature Control Knob
to OFF, and disconnect the power to the range. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the
power. If fault recurs, disconnect the power and contact an authorized servicer.
Surface element too hot or not hot
enough.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element
to be used.
Surface
element
does not heat.
Lightweight
or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials
and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight
pans heat
evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate"
in this Avoid Service Checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface element
to be used.
Entire appliance
does not operate.
Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface Elements
and Drip Bowls" in the General Cleaning section.
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.
Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized
servicer.
Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service.
