Range & Oven Repair Tips

What You Need To Know

Trying to repair your broken Oven, Stove or Range without the adequate training and safety standards is a recipe for trouble, or even death. Ovens, Stoves and Ranges should only be serviced by experienced professionals who have the knowledge and training to safely fix them. Repairs done by unqualified people risk serious injury or even death. Even a small home outlet can easily carry 150 times the current needed to kill you or a loved one!

Heating
Be sure to regularly clean your stove drip pans thoroughly to bring out the shine needed to properly radiate heat back. To keep them functional, clean regularly and replace every two years. Despite what you may have seen, you should never cover with aluminum foil because the foil may cause an electrical short which could cause a fire.

Heating Element
Carefully clean around burners and elements. Inspect for irregularities and blisters on the nickel coils of the burners. This indicates that the heating element may be burned-out and needs replacement.

Check Seals
Carefully clean around gasket seals. Use a mild, nonabrasive cleaner to clean in order to maintain proper temperature control and system efficiency. Replace corroded or brittle seals.

Self Cleaning
Self cleaning ovens are generally cleaned by heating the oven to an adequate temperature to incinerate food particles. Be sure that you do not use oven cleaners in self cleaning ovens. Use oven cleaners only for nonself-cleaning ovens. By activating the self cleaning feature, you could be exposing you and your loved ones to dangerous and deadly chemical gasses.
