If you’re experiencing issues with your KitchenAid wall oven, resetting it can often resolve the problem. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you reset your oven:
Step 1: Unplug the Oven
Start by unplugging the oven from the power outlet. This will cut off the power supply and allow the oven to completely reset.
Step 2: Wait 30 Seconds
Once the oven is unplugged, wait at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in. This will give the oven time to completely discharge any remaining electricity.
Step 3: Plug the Oven Back In
After waiting 30 seconds, plug the oven back into the power outlet. The oven should now be reset and ready to use.
Step 4: Check the Display
Once the oven is plugged back in, check the display. If the display is blank, press the “Clock” button to reset the time. If the display is showing an error code, refer to the user manual for instructions on how to clear the error.
Step 5: Test the Oven
To test the oven, turn it on and set it to a low temperature, such as 200°F. Place a small amount of food in the oven and bake it for a few minutes. If the food cooks evenly and without any problems, the oven is reset and ready to use.
Step 6: Troubleshooting
If you’re still having issues with your oven after resetting it, there might be a more serious problem. Check the following:
- Check the circuit breaker: Make sure the circuit breaker that powers the oven is not tripped.
