The following are some
normal sounds with the
explanations.
Pop
Click
Woosh or poof
Oven burner flames are
yellow or noisy
POSSIBLE CAUSES AND/OR SOLUTIONS
Wet burner - Allow it to dry.
These sounds are normal operational noises that can be heard each time the Bake or Broil
burners ignite during the cycle.
Gas valve is opening or cycling on and will make a single pop when it snaps open from the
solenoid. It sounds similar to a suction cup being pulled off of a piece of glass - This is normal.
The igniters will click several times until the flame is detected. These are short clicking sounds
like tapping a nail onto a piece of glass - This is normal.
Convection fan relay is cycling on and off (on some models) - This is normal.
Bake or Broil burner is igniting - This is normal.
Range converted improperly - If propane gas is being used, contact a service technician or see
"Warranty" for contact information.
