Possible Causes
Metal panels expanding and contracting, loose oven racks or supports, a warped bake or broil element, or loose mounting screws on internal panels.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before tightening or adjusting parts.
- Check racks: Ensure oven racks are properly seated and not contacting the oven walls.
- Tighten hardware: Inspect and tighten screws securing the back panel, side liners, and element brackets.
- Inspect elements: Look for warped or touching bake/broil elements that may snap or pop as they heat. Replace if severely warped.
- Normal sounds: Some mild popping from metal expansion is normal, but loud or new noises should be investigated.
