About this title

Synopsis

IS YOUR OVEN OR COOKTOP:

Not heating?

Getting too hot?

Will the burners not ignite?

Will the ignitors not stop ticking?

Is the door stuck locked after a cleaning cycle?

Is it not self-cleaning at all?

Our oven & cooktop repair manual can help!

You know the story. It's Thanksgiving, and your bird is all dressed up and ready to go, when you remember that your oven gave up the ghost last July. Of course, you didn't fix it then, because, well, it seems like you cook everything by microwave and toaster oven now. Who has the time to bake anymore? Let alone fix an oven you rarely use?

Sound familiar? Here's another sobering question: Didja ever try to call an oven repairman to your home the week before Thanksgiving?

Save yourself some time and money! We'll help you figure it out! Our cooking manual covers both gas and electric models of ovens and cooktops, ranges and stoves, self-cleaners and convection ovens; safety valves and thermostatic controls, timers and other automatic controls.

Includes diagnosis and repair procedures for electrical problems both 110 and 220 volt, burner and pilot flame troubles, pilot ignition including millivolt system and two-level pilots, and pilotless ignition systems including spark, re-ignition and glow-bar ignition. Covers all major appliance brands commonly available in the US, including Whirlpool, Kenmore, General Electric, Hotpoint, Tappan, O'Keefe & Merritt, Penncrest, Magic Chef, Maytag, Frigidaire, Gaffers & Sattler, Roper, Caloric, Jenn-Air, Chambers, Athens, Hardwick, and many more!

From the Author

I wrote the Cheap and Easy! appliance repair series for people who are fairly mechanically-minded, but just need a little coaching when it comes to appliances. Can you change the oil or spark plugs in your car? Most appliance repairs are no more difficult than that; diagnose the problem, change the part. A few tips and tricks, when necessary. In the manuals, I *do* inform you of how to diagnose more difficult problems (such as sealed system problems in refrigerators.) In these cases, depending on the diagnosis, I will advise you to call a professional service technician or scrap the machine; at least you will be able to make an informed decision. To my experience, these represent less than five percent of all appliance repairs.
