BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE
Review this Troubleshooting section before calling for service. This section contains common occurrences that are not a
result of defective workmanship or materials.
Problem
Possible Causes / Solutions
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 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 must be
accessible for service.
• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance
accessible.
• Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Oven control beeps
and displays any F code
error.
• Electronic control has detected a fault condition.
Touch CLEAR/OFF to clear the display and stop
beeping. Reprogram oven.
If fault recurs, record fault number. Touch CLEAR/
OFF and contact a service agent.
