Troubleshooting Guide
The top burners may not light or burn evenly if the electrical plug is not fully inserted into the outlet. Additionally, burner slits could be clogged with food or grease, or the burner parts may not be installed correctly. If your range is connected to LP gas, improper air to gas ratio may also be a cause. Consult the manufacturer documentation for specific cleaning and assembly instructions.
A non-functional fluorescent top light may stem from a loose or defective bulb. It is also possible that the switch operating the light is broken. For a simple check, ensure the bulb is securely seated. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for detailed replacement procedures.
This symptom can occur if a bake temperature or cleaning time was not entered correctly. It may also be due to the oven controls being set improperly for the desired function. Verify that the correct pads were touched for your intended operation. The official guidance provides detailed steps for setting oven functions.
Food may not bake or roast properly if the oven controls are set incorrectly, the shelf position is not ideal, or the cookware used is not suitable. An oven thermostat that requires adjustment can also affect results. Ensure the clock is set correctly and that aluminum foil is not used improperly. The diagnostic reference contains information on optimal shelf placement and thermostat adjustment.
