How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Do not use the oven if metal substrate is exposed near live parts or gas flames.
- Assess damage: Small chips away from elements are usually cosmetic. Large areas or rust near elements or gas burners can be hazardous.
- Avoid further damage: Stop using abrasive pads and harsh chemicals. Use non‑abrasive cleaners only.
- Touch-up: High‑temperature enamel touch‑up paint can be used on minor chips, following manufacturer instructions.
- Severe damage: If the cavity is heavily corroded or flaking near elements, consult a technician. In many cases, the oven cavity is not economically repairable and the appliance may need replacement.
