Problem Possible Cause What To Do
My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one. Is
something wrong with the
temperature settings?
Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore
may cook differently than your old oven.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times

“Crackling” or “popping”
sound
This is the sound of the metal heating
and cooling during both the cooking and
cleaning functions.
This is normal.
Why is my range making
a "clicking" noise when
using my oven?
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.
This is normal.
Clock and timer do not
work
A fuse in your home may be blown or the
circuit breaker tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Sometimes the oven takes
longer to preheat to the
same temperature
Cookware or food in oven The cookware or food in the oven will cause the
oven to take longer to preheat. Remove items to
reduce preheat time.
