Oven makes popping or arcing sounds and may show bright flashes

Safety: Turn off power immediately if arcing occurs.

• Inspect elements: Look for cracks, holes, or burn-through on elements.
• Check mounting: Ensure elements are properly supported and not touching metal surfaces.
• Test for ground fault: With power off, check resistance from element terminals to ground; any continuity indicates a short.

Replace any damaged element. Do not continue using the oven until the fault is corrected.
