Solutions to Common Problems  
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.  
OCCURRENCE  
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION  
Range is not level.  
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.  
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make  
must be accessible for service.  
appliance accessible.  
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.  
Surface element too hot or not hot enough. Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is on for the element to be used.  
Surface element does not heat.  
Lightweightorwarpedpansused. Useonlyflat, evenlybalanced, mediumorheavyweight  
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 Before You Call checklist.  
Incorrectcontrolsetting. Makesurethecorrectcontrolisonforthesurfaceunittobeused.  
Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.  
Entire appliance does not operate.  
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.  
Oven light (some models) does not work.  
Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light (some models) in this Use & Care  
Manual for instructions.  
Oven control beeps continuously with no  
indicator lights flashing. (If model is  
equippedwithadisplayF1orF3willshow.)  
This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic oven control. Among its many  
features is a full time oven circuit diagnostics system. The control 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 control will immediately stop  
operation, and beep continuously (flashing an error code of F1 or F3 in the display  
window, if equipped). Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Push CLEAR/  
OFF to clear the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record  
fault number, push CLEAR/OFF and contact an authorized servicer.

Solutions to Common Problems  
Control(s) not set properly. Follow instructions under Setting Oven Controls.  
Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.  
Oven smokes excessively during broiling.  
Meat too close to the element. Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between  
the meat and the element. Preheat broil element for searing.  
Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges  
to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.  
Insert on broiler pan wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place grid on the  
broiler pan with ribs up and slots down to allow grease to drip into pan.  
Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling  
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.  
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used. Center  
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to  
the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's  
recommended temperature or baking time.  
Poor baking results.  
Excessive spillovers in oven. This is normal, especially for high oven temperatures with  
pie spillovers or large amounts of grease on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive  
spillovers.  
Flames inside oven or smoking from vent.  
For oven fire, see Setting Surface & Oven Controls in this Use & Care Manual.  
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.  
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover

Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as  
much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.  
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop  
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT  
use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element.  
Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.  
Drip bowls turning color or distorted (Coil  
element models).  
Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches.  
Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches  
do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See  
"Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.  
Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.  
Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on  
cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See  
"Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
