Possible Causes

Heavy grease on oven surfaces, Spilled food on elements, Foil blocking vents, Overheating due to sensor or control issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you see flames, turn off the oven and keep the door closed. If smoke is heavy, ventilate the area.

  • Inspect interior: Once cool, check for heavy grease or spills on the bottom, walls, and elements.
  • Clean oven: Use the manufacturer-recommended cleaning method. Avoid covering racks or bottom with foil that blocks airflow.
  • Check temperature: Use an oven thermometer to verify the oven is not overheating. If it is, test the temperature sensor and control.
