How to Repair Your Oven & Stove Yourself – Appliance Forever
Is your oven not heating properly? Are the burners unresponsive, or do you notice strange smells or sparks? Don’t worry! Many common oven and stove problems can be fixed at home with a few basic tools and the right know-how. At Appliance Forever, we’re here to help keep your kitchen running smoothly.
Here are some of the most common issues and what could be causing them:
– Oven not heating: Faulty heating element, blown fuse, or thermostat malfunction.
– Burners not lighting: Clogged burner ports or defective ignition switch.
– Uneven cooking: Broken convection fan or inaccurate temperature calibration.
– Oven door won’t close: Bent hinges or damaged door gasket.
– Strange smells or sparks: Food debris near elements or faulty wiring.
A few easy maintenance tips:
Clean burner caps and ignition ports regularly. Use a thermometer to check oven calibration. Avoid using foil on oven bottoms as it can block airflow. Clean out food residue to prevent odors and smoke. Always check that your appliance is plugged in and inspect cords for damage.
Top DIY fixes include:
– Replacing faulty bake or broil elements
– Cleaning and unclogging gas burner ports
– Swapping out malfunctioning electric burners
– Testing oven temperature with a thermometer
– Replacing worn gaskets or broken door hinges
