Possible Causes

Household power outage or brownout, Loose range power cord connection, Tripped breaker or poor contact, Faulty terminal block on range

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the breaker before inspecting electrical connections. High voltage is present at the terminal block.

Steps:

  • Confirm power: Check that the range breaker is fully ON and not partially tripped. Reset if needed.
  • Inspect cord and outlet: Pull the range out carefully and inspect the power cord and outlet for burns or looseness. Replace damaged components.
  • Check terminal block: Remove the rear cover to access the terminal block where the cord connects. Tighten loose screws and replace a melted or cracked terminal block.
  • Clear code: Press CLEAR/OFF or CLOCK to clear PF and reset the time.

Warning: If you see signs of arcing or burning at the terminal block, do not use the range until repairs are completed.
