Oven light does not
work Light bulb is loose or defective. Tighten or replace bulb.
Switch operating light is broken. Call for service.

self-clean The temperature is too high to set a
self-clean operation. Allow the oven to cool and reset the controls.
Oven controls improperly set. See the Cleaning the Oven section.
Excessive smoking

smoke. Wait until the LOCKED light goes off. Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
Excessive smoking

Oven was heavily soiled. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean
again.
“Burning” or “oily”
odor emitting from
the vent This is normal in a new oven and will
disappear in time. See the Cleaning the Oven section. This is temporary.
Strong odor An odor from the oven insulation is
normal for the first few times the oven
is used. This is temporary and will go away after several uses
or a self-clean cycle.
My oven door glass
appears to be
"tinted" or have a
"rainbow" color. Is
this defective? No. The inner oven glass is coated with
a heat barrier to reflect the heat back
into the oven to prevent heat loss and
keep the outer door cool while baking. This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may
see this tint or rainbow color.
