More About Oven and Stovetop Repair
Your home’s stovetop/oven is one of the most used appliances you own. And like most of your appliances, you don’t really think too much about them until something isn’t working correctly.
Stovetop and oven repair should be considered right away if you’re experiencing problems with gas stoves (always be safe with gas appliances) or the problem is beyond your level of appliance expertise.
On electric stovetops, the electric burners are easy to replace. You can purchase replacement electric burner coils at just about any home improvement store. So if you notice these burners not working properly, they’re getting old and odorous when they’re heating up, or they’re becoming bent or warped, simply purchase a replacement and plug it in.
For gas stovetops, a common issue is the flame coming out of the burner opening isn’t strong enough so it’s not heating properly. This could be a simple fix in that the burner opening needs to be cleaned. If this doesn’t take care of the problem, it’s recommended you call a stovetop/oven repair specialist in Northbrook.
Problems with your oven can be a bit trickier, and it’s usually wise and prudent to call an oven repair professional to assess the problem.
A couple of common problems that are easy to fix are the oven light stops working (replace the bulb) or the oven handle is loose (tighten the screws behind the door, when it’s cooled down, of course).
If your oven isn’t baking consistently with the appropriate heat, this could be a problem with the temperature sensor or the heating element.
OK, how about this one: your oven will not self-clean? This could be a problem with the oven door lock mechanism or the temperature sensor but also could be the control board or clock wiring.
Another common problem is you turn the oven on in your Northbrook home and it simply doesn’t heat up. At all. If you have an electric oven, it’s most likely a faulty heating element. An easy check is if the heating element isn’t turning red, it’s most likely kaput.
For gas ovens, the problem is a little dicier, such as it could be the igniter isn’t working properly. A good indicator is to listen for the clicking noises when you turn the nob, if you hear the clicks, then the problem is elsewhere. If you don’t, it’s most likely the igniter.
We’ll finish with what may not be a common problem but one that does occur and that’s falling oven racks. When an appliance such as your oven produces extreme heat over an extended period of time, the internal parts can become warped, broken, damaged, etc. If the oven racks aren’t staying in place properly, either the racks are in need of replacement, or the walls of the oven’s interior are warping (spreading apart too far). Is this problem fixable, it can be, but it is most likely an expensive repair, so you may have reached to point where you’ll want to weigh the cost of stovetop/oven repair against the cost of stovetop/oven replacement.
