Magic Chef
no longer makes ranges, but many people own these products. If you fall into this category, you may find yourself needing to solve a few problems which arise over time. Try saving yourself the money of a repairman by troubleshooting the issues on your own. If you do need to place a call to a service center, the good news is that Magic Chef range replacement parts are generally readily available for purchase.
Power
If your Magic Chef range will not work, make sure the oven is plugged in properly and that you haven't accidentally blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker. If this isn't your problem, make sure you have set the oven controls correctly. Your owner's manual will have instructions on do this. If these steps do not solve your problem and you are sure that you have not lost power to your house, then you will need to contact a repairman.
Surface Elements
Sometimes you may find that the surface elements on your Magic Chef range will not turn on or heat your food correctly. If this occurs, make sure that the unit is plugged in properly and that no fuses or circuit breakers have been blown or tripped. Also, make sure that the cookware you are using is correct. For best results, you should always use cookware with a flat bottom. If you are using a Canadian model, during a self-clean cycle the surface elements will not turn on.
Display and Control Panels
If you see that there is a number in the display panel with a continuous beeping noise, this is a fault code. You will need to press the Stop/Clear pad. This should solve the problem. It it does not, and the code appears again, you should disconnect the unit from its power source and call a repairman. If your control panel will not allow you to punch in an entry, the pad may be "stuck." You should press each of the seven pads to disengage the stuck pad. Once you do this, press the Stop/Clear pad and reprogram what you want the range to do. If this does not solve your problem, call a repairman.
