what happens when your oven pops

Pop / Popping noise from the oven:

• The heating and cooling of the porcelain and steel in the oven may result in popping/cracking noises coming from the oven.

• The gas valve is opening or cycling on and will make a single pop when it snaps open from the solenoid.
  • It sounds similar to a suction cup being pulled off of a piece of glass.

• Some models have a removable oven bottom.
  • Verify the oven bottom is securely in place before using the oven.
    • When the oven is cool: Position the front of the oven bottom panel toward the front frame, and then lower the rear of the oven bottom panel into the oven.
  • If the oven bottom is not installed correctly, an “oil canning” effect , may occur when the oven bottom is heated or cooled.
    • “Oil Canning” is caused by the expansion or contraction of metal components.
