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.
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, beeping and flashing an error code of F1 or F3* in the
display window.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
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.
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.
Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push the CANCEL button to clear
the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number,
push the CANCEL button and contact authorized servicer.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to
be used.
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 unit to
be used.
Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Cooktop and Oven Lights in this Owner's
Guide for instructions.
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.
