Possible Causes

Mechanical damage from harsh cleaning tools, Corrosion from spills left uncleaned, Manufacturing enamel defect, Excessive overheating

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before inspection.

  • Assess damage: Small chips can often be left if not in direct contact with elements, but exposed metal may rust.
  • Clean and dry: Remove loose enamel and clean the area thoroughly. Keep it dry to minimize corrosion.
  • Touch-up: High-temperature enamel touch-up paint may be used on minor areas, following manufacturer guidance.
  • Severe damage: If large areas are affected or metal is heavily corroded, consult a technician; cavity replacement is rarely economical and may mean replacing the oven.
