Possible Causes

Metal panels expanding/contracting, loose cavity screws, distorted oven liners

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before tightening any screws.

  • Identify source: Listen carefully to locate the area of noise (top, sides, rear).
  • Tighten fixings: Check and tighten accessible screws securing the inner liners, rear panel, and side panels.
  • Check shelves and supports: Remove shelves and side racks to see if the noise reduces. Slight movement of racks can cause clicking; adjust or replace if excessively loose.
  • Acceptable behaviour: Some minor clicking from expansion is normal and not a fault if there is no performance issue or burning smell.
