How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not use the oven if large areas of metal are exposed and rusting near elements; this can affect safety.

  • Assess damage:
    • Identify whether rust is superficial or deep.
    • Check if any sharp edges or loose enamel pieces are present.
  • Minor rust:
    • Lightly sand the affected area to remove loose rust.
    • Clean and apply a high-temperature, food-safe enamel touch-up paint suitable for ovens.
  • Severe damage:
    • If large sections of enamel have failed, the cavity may not be economically repairable.
    • Consult Hoover or a professional technician for assessment; cavity replacement is rarely practical.
