A fuse in your home may
be blown or the circuit
breaker tripped.

black-out mode.
Power failure.
Oven control pads were
not pressed properly.
Power outage or surge.
This is normal in a
new oven and will
disappear in time.
An odor from the insulation
around the inside of the
oven is normal for the first
few times the oven is used.
A cooling fan may
automatically turn on.
What To Do
• Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Allow the oven to cool for
one hour. Put the oven back into operation.
• Disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30
seconds and then reconnect power. If the function
error code repeats, call for service.
• Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• See the Special features of your oven control section.
• Reset the clock.
• The BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads must be pressed
at the same time and held for 3 seconds.
• Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset
it by pressing the CLEAR/OFF pad, setting the clock
and resetting any cooking function.
• To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Using the self-cleaning
oven section.
• This is temporary.
• This is normal. The cooling fan will turn on
to cool internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2
hours in 30" models and up to 2 hours in 27" models
after the oven is turned off.
