Possible Causes
Metal panels expanding/contracting, Loose oven racks or supports, Warped bake or broil element
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Allow the oven to cool before touching internal parts.
- Identify source: Listen carefully to locate whether the noise comes from the oven cavity, rear panel, or under the cooktop.
- Secure racks: Ensure racks are properly seated in their supports and not contacting the oven walls.
- Inspect elements: Check bake and broil elements for warping that may cause them to flex and hit the liner. Replace if severely warped.
- Tighten panels: From the rear, tighten any loose screws on the back panel or side panels that may be flexing.
