Russell Hobbs Cavity Coating Degradation

Oven enamel or interior coating is flaking or chipping.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Mechanical damage from harsh cleaning tools, Thermal shock from cold water on hot surfaces, Manufacturing defect in enamel, Corrosive cleaners used

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before cleaning or inspecting.

Stop using abrasive tools: Avoid metal scrapers or steel wool inside the cavity.
Clean loose flakes: Gently remove any loose enamel pieces and wipe the area clean.
Touch-up (limited): Small chips can sometimes be covered with high-temperature enamel repair paint, following the product instructions.
Severe damage: Extensive flaking may require cavity replacement, which is usually not economical; consult Russell Hobbs support.
