Is Your Oven Self-Cleaning Feature Failing?

Here’s how to fix it!

Self-cleaning ovens can save you from scrubbing a greasy and grimy appliance. They use a temperature around 900 degrees Fahrenheit to burn off the dirt that accumulates on the oven surface during the cooking process. If you are a lucky owner of the Frigidaire Gallery series oven with a self-cleaning feature, you can take advantage of it. All you need to do is remove the racks, close the oven door, select the “Self Clean” cycle, set the cleaning time and press the “Start” button. The cleaning cycle usually takes three hours to finish. When it is completed, let the oven cool down and wipe away the ashes with a damp cloth.

Unfortunately, like any appliance, the oven’s self-cleaning feature can eventually break down from even normal use over time. To avoid the messy and exhausting process of cleaning the dirty oven by yourself check the tips below.
