Possible Causes
Mechanical damage from harsh cleaning tools, Thermal shock from cold water on hot surfaces, Manufacturing defect, Prolonged exposure to corrosive cleaners
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not ingest any loose enamel flakes. Avoid using the oven at very high temperatures until assessed.
- Stop abrasive cleaning: Discontinue use of metal scrapers or harsh scouring pads.
- Assess severity: Small cosmetic chips can often be left as-is, but large areas of missing enamel may expose metal to rust and can be a hygiene issue.
- Touch-up (limited): High-temperature enamel touch-up kits exist but may not be approved by Gorenje. Check warranty and manufacturer guidance before use.
- Professional evaluation: For extensive damage, consult Gorenje service. In severe cases, cavity replacement may be required, which is typically not economical on older units.
