Possible Cause
Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore
may cook differently than your old oven.
Oven controls improperly set.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is not
level.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of
improper size being used.
Oven temperature needs adjustment.
Ingredient substitution
Oven controls improperly set.
Improper rack position being used.
Food being cooked in a hot pan.
Cookware not suited for broiling.
Aluminum foil used on the broiling pan and
grid has not been fitted properly and slit as
recommended.
In some areas the power (voltage) may be
low.

A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.
Oven controls improperly set.
Oven is in Sabbath Mode.
This is the sound of the metal heating
and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.
Your range has been designed to
maintain a tighter control over your oven's
temperature. You may hear your oven's
heating elements "click" on and off more
frequently than in older ovens to achieve
better results during baking, broiling, and
self-clean cycles.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.
Cookware or food in oven
Number of racks in oven
