Food cooks unevenly; some areas are burnt while others are undercooked.

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before adjusting internal parts.

• Do not overcrowd: Arrange food in a single layer with space between pieces to allow air circulation.
• Shake or rotate: Pause mid‑cycle to shake the basket or rotate racks for more even cooking.
• Inspect basket and tray: Ensure the crisper tray sits flat and is not warped. Replace if deformed.
• Check vents and fan: Clean all vents and verify the fan is running at normal speed. Replace the fan motor if airflow is weak.
• Avoid blocking airflow: Use only Kenmore‑approved accessories that do not block the fan or heater.
