Troubleshooting Guide
This issue can arise from various factors, including differences in the oven's cooking system compared to previous models, incorrect oven control settings, or improper rack placement. The choice of cookware and its size can also influence cooking results, as can an unadjusted oven temperature. For detailed guidance on proper cooking modes and temperature adjustment, consult the Cooking Modes and Settings sections of your official manual.
Oven racks may become difficult to slide if they were cleaned in a self-clean cycle or if the oven cavity and racks have accumulated dirt or residue. This buildup can affect the smooth movement of the racks over time. Refer to the Care and Cleaning – Interior Surfaces section in the official manual for proper cleaning and lubrication instructions to ensure optimal rack performance.
A blank display or unresponsive oven control often indicates a power interruption, such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, or that the appliance is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet. It could also be due to the oven being in Sabbath Mode or the Lock Controls feature being activated. Inspect your home's electrical panel, confirm the appliance is properly plugged in, and review the Sabbath Mode and Lock Control sections in your manual for further details.
If the surface units are not functioning as expected, it might be due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, or incorrect cooktop control settings. The use of improper cookware can also affect heating performance and boiling efficiency, especially if pans are not flat-bottomed or do not match the unit's diameter. Verify your home's electrical supply and consult the Cooking Modes and Cookware sections in your official manual for optimal operation.
