Possible Causes
The oven temperature is too
high to set a self-clean operation.
Oven controls improperly set.
On models with a door latch,
the oven door is not in the
locked position.
This is the sound of the
metal heating and cooling
during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.
Excessive soil.
Oven too hot.
Oven controls not properly set.
Oven was heavily soiled.
The self-clean cycle has been
selected but the door is not
closed.
The oven door is locked
because the temperature
inside the oven has not
dropped below the
locking temperature.
On models with a door latch,
if a function error code appears
during the self-cleaning cycle,
check the oven door latch.
You have a function error code.
If the function code repeats.
Oven is too hot.
What To Do
• Allow the range to cool to room temperature and
reset the controls.
• See the Using the self-cleaning oven section.
• Make sure you move the door latch handle all the
way to the right.
• This is normal.
• Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open the windows to
rid the room of smoke. Wait until the LOCKED DOOR
light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the
clean cycle.
• Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.
• See the Using the self-cleaning oven section.
• Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean
again or for a longer period of time.
• Close the oven door.
• Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Allow the oven to cool,
and then, on models with a door latch, unlock
the door.
• The latch may have been moved, even if only slightly,
from the locked position. Make sure the latch is moved
to the right as far as it will go.
• Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Allow the oven to cool for one
hour. Put the oven back into operation.
• Disconnect all power to the range for 5 minutes
and then reconnect power. If the function error
code repeats, call for service.
• Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.
Do not lock the door with the door latch except when
using the self-clean feature.
