Troubleshooting common Caloric range problems

Even dependable Caloric gas and electric ranges can develop issues. Here’s how to fix some of the most common ones.

Oven not heating

If your gas oven won’t heat, the igniter could be worn or faulty. When it no longer draws enough current to open the gas safety valve, the burner won’t light. You can fix this by replacing the oven igniter.

Burners not sparking

If none of the burners spark when you turn the knobs, a failed spark module may be to blame. The spark module sends voltage to the electrodes to create the spark that lights the gas. If it’s defective, replacing the spark module can get your range working again.

Single burner won’t light

When just one burner fails to spark, the surface igniter electrode might be the issue. Damage or wear can prevent the igniter from sparking near the burner head. Restore ignition by replacing the surface burner igniter.

Caring for your Caloric range

Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the life of your range and keep it looking new.

• Use the right cookware. Flat-bottom stainless steel, aluminum, or copper pans distribute heat evenly and reduce surface scratches.
• Clean after each use. Let the cooktop cool completely before wiping it down. Use a non-abrasive cooktop cleaner to avoid damage.
• Scrape carefully. For burnt residue, use a non-abrasive razor scraper at a 30- to 45-degree angle.
• Maintain the oven. Clean the oven door glass as needed, and follow a simple routine cleaning and maintenance schedule to prevent grease and debris buildup.

Caloric range FAQs

How do I reset a Caloric range after a power outage?

Unplug the range for a minute, then plug it back in. If your model has a clock or timer, you may need to reset them before resuming normal operation.

Why won’t my Caloric oven heat evenly?

Uneven baking often points to a faulty oven temperature sensor or a damaged door gasket. Replacing either component can help restore consistent performance.

Can I use generic replacement parts in my Caloric range?

Generic parts might fit, but OEM parts are designed for your specific model, ensuring better performance and longer lifespan.

Why do my Caloric range burners keep clicking?

Constant clicking may indicate moisture on the electrodes or a shorted spark module. Allow the range to dry completely and replace the faulty part if the issue continues.

How often should I clean my Caloric range?

Wipe down the cooktop after each use and perform a deeper clean every few weeks. Use a non-abrasive cooktop cleaner, follow tips for cleaning the oven door glass, and schedule routine cleaning and maintenance to keep your range in top shape.
