Generic Question on Oven Element Durability

I just had an arcing failure of the broiling element in a 6 year old Miele oven. I use the rotisserie feature of this oven quite frequently which employs the broiler and always with a pan of water in the oven under the rotisserie to prevent smoking since the cooking time is around an hour. This results in very moist air conditions in the oven while cooking to the point that a cloud of steam escapes from the oven when I open the door.

My question is whether these moist conditions could have accelerated the failure of the broiler element. This is now the second time I've had a broiling element fail (KitchenAid oven the first time) with moist air broiling in ovens that were around 5 years old. Regular baking and convection baking never has the same moisture conditions since I don't see the same clouds of steam on opening the oven door. Those elements remain durable and I've never had those elements fail on ovens that have been as old as 20 years.

I'm wondering if these recent, similar element failures are coincidental or if oven elements can deteriorate prematurely if operated in moist air.

GE Oven not maintaining Temp

I have an old GE XL44 pilot system that is not maintaining temp. I can get it up to about 125 degrees but the gas valve shuts down the burner. The pilot is strong. But I fear that there is some issue with that sensor. I polished it up a bit with some sandpaper but I can't get it to change its behaviors. I really don't want to dump $200 in to a new valve. Is there a way to adjust the thermostat? Would you guys say I have a t-stat issue or a valve issue?

Thanks for your time!

GE double wall oven, oven cycle light coming on sporadically

Hi there,

I recently purchased a home that has a GE double wall oven model # JKP27BOD1BB. After moving in we notice the oven cycle light on the bottom oven turns on by itself when the oven is not in use. It will heat for a few minutes and then go off only to come on again later. The upper oven has digital controls, and the lower oven has a knob control. Apart from this the oven seems to function correctly, I have cooked food In the upper oven with no problems. Any ideas what could be causing the oven cycle light to come on and any information on what part I might need to replace to fix this issue. Any advice is appreciated.

Many thanks,

Louise

LRG4113ST LG Range Flame Comes Out Convection vent in Back

Our LG oven continues to burn food that is towards the rear of the oven due to a flame that comes out the convection fan grille(hopefully you can see the flame). I don't believe this should be happening but we called LG and they said to clean the oven. :wall:The oven is spotless so that can't be the issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem & how to you fix it. Thanks in advance.

Convection oven blower issue

Hello, this is my first time here. I am not sure if you can help because this is a commercial oven, but I said I will give it a try, so thanks in advance for your time and help.

This is Duke E101 with Emerson electric motor model s63nxkal-7989, 1/2 H.P. 1725RPM 110/115V. The blower will not start by itself but it make noise (humming) so we give it a push in the CW direction, and after closing the door it starts and work perfectly.

I opened the motor to see if the capacitor blown out or any other part that can cause the issue, but all seem visibly ok.

I suspect that the capacitor needs to be replaced but not sure. Can you please tell me what can be checked/done?

I attached images for the motor and the capacitor.

Thank you.

Samsung Range NX58H9950WS/AA dead after selfclean

After a selfclean the oven door was stuck and front panel dead. I read instructions on how to get the door open.

Most posts talk about the thermal switch or high heat fuze that needs to be replaced. I just could not find it. I did an ohm test on the termostat and it tested fine at room temperature. How do I find it?


I read another article and saw a video where someone replaced the front lcd to fix it. I ordered that part from this site but it it still not working. I checked the voltage on the main wiring coming to the front panel and it was dead. The back pcb shows one pin at 5v, but I could not get any reading on the front. The white /black wire to the front panel has power. I tested the voltage on the rear pcb but could not get any reading. I am a novice at this, so I am not sure if there is a high heat / thermal cutoff, or if there is something I can do to troubleshoot. Replace the PCB?

The gastop works/ignites.


Any help appreciated

I tried unplugging but this time nothing...Hope that helps. Please help.
