tighter control over your oven's temperature.
You may hear your oven's heating elements
"click" on and off more frequently than in older
ovens to achieve better results during baking,
broiling, convection, and self-clean cycles.

circuit breaker tripped.
Light bulb is loose or defective.

The temperature is too high to set a self-
clean operation.
