The oven takes on its heaviest workload of the year during the holidays. A little preparation now can save your dinner later.
Verify the Temperature
An oven that's drifted out of calibration ruins anything that needs precise baking.
Fix: Check it against a standalone oven thermometer and recalibrate if it's running hot or cold.
Skip Self-Clean the Night Before
The high-heat self-clean cycle is known to blow a thermal fuse and knock the oven out entirely.
Fix: Run any deep cleaning several days ahead, never the night before you need it.
Test the Elements and Igniter
A weakening element or igniter tends to show itself under heavy, sustained use.
Fix: Run a preheat cycle ahead of time and confirm it heats evenly and holds steady.
