Oven makes loud banging or popping noises during heating or cooling.

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before tightening screws or adjusting panels.

• 1. Isolate source: Remove all racks, trays, and accessories, then run a short heating cycle. If noise disappears, the issue is with removable items.
• 2. Check racks and trays: Ensure racks are properly seated and not warped. Replace any severely warped accessories.
• 3. Tighten panels: With the oven cool, remove interior panel screws (rear, side, or top liners) and retighten them to reduce movement. Also check external trim screws.
• 4. Normal expansion: Some mild popping from metal expansion is normal, but very loud or new noises after years of use may indicate a panel has shifted and needs adjustment.
