FAQs

Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?
Temperature changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temperatures. Different fans run to heat up and cool down different parts of the oven, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.

This oven doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?
We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Guide for detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature or call Frigidaire Owner Support if you need help!

Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Watch food to prevent burning.
Find more troubleshooting tips in the back of your Use & Care Guide.
