From oven or grill elements, electric solid hot hot plates, coil hot plates and temperature controls, fan motors to thermostats - wall ovens, stoves and cooktops can be maintained for a life time.
To keep your oven in top working condition, it's always a good idea to follow this guide and try some of the tips mentioned. Following these tips may prolong the oven life and save repair costs in the future.
Make it a habit to wipe down your oven after use, along with your bench tops, this will remove sharp hard leftovers that can scratch your protective seal on your oven. Many ovens rust in the short term because the left over burnt food wears away protective coating.

A: Westinghouse ovens & cooktops, Chef, Electrolux, and Simpson. Give us a call if you don't see your brand here, we'd be glad to help.
Q: Why is my oven not hot enough?
A: There may be a problem with the element or thermostat. The solution could be to replace the thermostat, or possibly the oven door hinges.
We offer fixed price servicing and carry most elements and thermostats in our vans. See below for our pricing.
Q: Why is my oven door not sealing?
A: There may be a problem with the door seal or door hinges.
Your oven door can be fixed on the spot as we carry replacement hinges and seals.
Q: Why is my oven noisy?
A: The most common reason for a noisy oven is a problem with the fan motor.
If you notice your oven is making unusual noises, weather it being from the fan motor, or noisy, scraping door hinges, that's a sign that a service call is in need. If left unattended, a noisy fan motor could cause damage to elements, and worn door hinges can damage the ovens control panel or clock.
