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.
