New oven and crust won't brown or get crusty

Help!  We have a new electric oven and my crust won't get brown and is not crusty.  I bake on a preheated baking stone with a preheated pan below which I fill with hot water when I put the bread in the oven.  I've used the same recipe and same method with my old electric oven and was happy with the results.  I tried not using a pan with hot water and that didn't help.  I tried spraying water after I put the bread in and that made  it worse.

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Thanks, Sliss
