Problem

Possible Cause

What To Do

Oven light does not 
work

Light bulb is loose or defective.

Tighten or replace bulb.

Pad operating light is broken.

Call for service.

Oven will not self-clean

The temperature is too high to set a 
self-clean operation.

Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.

Oven controls improperly set.

See the Cleaning the Oven section.

Excessive smoking 
during clean cycle

Excessive soil or grease.

Press the 

Cancel/Off

 pad. Open the windows to rid the 

room of smoke. Wait until the 

LOCKED

 light goes off. 

Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Excessive smoking 
during broiling

Food too close to burner element.

Lower the rack position of the food.

Oven door will not open 
after a clean cycle

Oven too hot.

Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.

Oven not clean after a 
clean cycle

Oven controls improperly set.

See the Cleaning the Oven section.

Oven was heavily soiled.

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.

"LOCK DOOR" flashes 
in the display

The self-clean cycle has been 
selected but the door is not closed.

Close the oven door.

DOOR LOCK light is on 
when you want to cook

The oven door is locked because 
the temperature inside the oven 
has not dropped below the locking 
temperature.

Press the 

Cancel/Off

 pad. Allow the oven to cool.

“F— and a number 
or letter” flash in the 
display

You have a function error code.

Press the Cancel/Off pad. Allow the oven to cool for 
one hour. Put the oven back into operation.

If the function code repeats.

Disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 
seconds and then reconnect power. If the function error 
code repeats, call for service.

Display goes blank

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

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

The clock is turned off.

See the Special features section.

Oven is in Sabbath Mode.

Verify that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode. See the 
Special Features section.

Power outage, clock 
flashes

Power outage or surge

Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset 
it by pressing the 

Cancel/Off

 pad, setting the clock and 

resetting any cooking function.

“Burning” or “oily” odor 
emitting from the vent

This is normal in a new oven and 
will disappear in time. 

To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a 
minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section.

Strong odor

An odor from the insulation around 
the inside of the oven is normal for 
the first few times the oven is used. 

This is temporary and will go away after several uses 
or a self-clean cycle.

Fan noise 
(on some models)

A cooling fan may automatically 
turn on and off.

This is normal on some models. The cooling fan will 
turn off and on to cool internal parts. It may run after 
the oven is turned off.

My oven door glass 
appears to be "tinted" 
or have a "rainbow" 
color. Is this defective?

No. The inner oven glass is coated 
with a heat barrier to reflect the heat 
back into the oven to prevent heat 
loss and keep the outer door cool 
while baking. 

This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may 
see this tint or rainbow color.
