TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.

Oven temperature too high or too low
■ Does the oven temperature calibration need adjustment?
See “Oven Temperature Control” section.
■ On some models, does the cooling fan run during BAKE,

It is normal for the fan to automatically run when the oven is
in use. This helps cool the electronic control.

See the “Display” and/or the “Oven Lights” section. If the
indicator light(s) keeps flashing, call for service. See
“Assistance or Service” section.

needed. See “Clock” section.

Depending on your model, press OFF/CANCEL, OFF or
CANCEL/OFF to clear the display. See “Display(s)” section. If
