Frequently Asked Questions (25)

  • Why is my Whirlpool RBD245PR oven not heating properly?

    If your oven is not heating properly, consider the following:

    • Check if the oven temperature calibration needs adjustment.
    • Ensure the proper temperature is set for your recipe.
    • Verify if the oven was preheated as needed.
    • Confirm that the proper bakeware is being used.
    • Check if the racks are positioned properly and if there is proper air circulation around the bakeware.
    • Avoid frequently opening the oven door while cooking, as this releases heat and can result in longer cooking times.

    For more information, see page 13 of the manual.

  • Why is my Whirlpool RBD245PR oven door locked?

  • How do I clean my Whirlpool RBD245PR oven?

    Cleaning methods vary by oven part:

    • Oven Cavity: Use the Self-Cleaning cycle. Clean loose soil beforehand to reduce smoke. Do not use commercial oven cleaners.
    • Oven Racks: Remove racks before the Self-Cleaning cycle to prevent discoloration and difficulty in sliding. If they become hard to slide, apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the rack guides. You can also use a steel-wool pad.
    • Broiler Pan and Grid: Do not clean in the Self-Cleaning cycle. Use a mildly abrasive cleanser with a wet scouring pad, or soak in a solution of 1/2 cup (125 mL) ammonia to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water for 20 minutes, then scrub. Oven cleaner can also be used following product label instructions.
    • Oven Door Exterior: Clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge, or an All-Purpose Appliance Cleaner.
    • Control Panel: Clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge, or an All-Purpose Appliance Cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel-wool pads.
    • General Cleaning: For other surfaces, use soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge. For stainless steel, rub in the direction of the grain with a Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish or liquid detergent. Use vinegar for hard water spots.

    For more information, see pages 10, 11, 12 and 14 of the manual.

  • Why is my Whirlpool RBD245PR oven not turning on?

    If your oven is not turning on, check the following:

    • Power Supply: Ensure a household fuse has not blown or a circuit breaker has not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker. If the problem persists, call an electrician.
    • Wiring: Verify the appliance is wired properly.
    • Control Settings: Check if the electronic oven control is set correctly.
    • Delayed Start: See if a delay start has been set.
    • Control Lock: Confirm that the Control Lock is not activated.
    • Sabbath Mode: On some models, check if the Sabbath Mode is set.
    • Double Oven Models: If you have a double oven, ensure one oven is not self-cleaning, as the other oven cannot be set or turned on during this time. Also, make sure the correct oven (UPPER or LOWER) has been selected.

    For more information, see page 13 of the manual.

  • Why is my Whirlpool RBD245PR oven smoking?

    Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used for the first few times or when it is heavily soiled. During the Self-Cleaning cycle, heavy soil can result in more smoke, so it is recommended to clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled and to wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and damage. When broiling, using a broiler pan and grid helps drain juices and avoid spatter and smoke.

  • Can I use aluminum foil in my Whirlpool RBD245PR oven?

    • Ensure the proper temperature is set and the oven temperature calibration is correct.
    • Use the proper bakeware and ensure racks are positioned properly with proper air circulation.
