There are plenty of common gas range problems that can be addressed and fixed at home without spending any money. RJ Gas wants you to know about these do-it-yourself methods so that in times of crisis, and upkeep, you can depend on yourself, or even help your East London friends and neighbors with their appliances.
Common Gas Range Problems Made Easy
The good news is that a gas range cabinet isn’t hard to take apart, or disassemble. Let’s investigate a five step process that you can follow to do execute this procedure yourself.
How to Disassemble Your Gas Range
Step 1: First, remove all the screws that hold the panels into place, and then take off the control knobs. The knobs should be friction-fit and come straight off without a problem. However, on some models the knobs might have setscrews. If this is the case just use a good screwdriver or Allen wrench, along with old fashioned elbow grease.
Step 2: Now it’s time to take off the back service panel. To do this, you will need to remove everything holding it in place, including control knobs, mounting screws, and perhaps screws that are hidden underneath molding.
Step 3: Remove both the burner gates, and the top of the range to have access to burner assemblies. Ideally the range top should either come straight up, or go up and sit back on hinges that are found with some models.
Step 4: If you have any issues with the surface light bulb, now is a great time to continue removing retaining screws along with panels to get to it so that you can replace it with a new bulb of the same wattage. This information can typically be found on the bulb itself.
Step 5: Finally, check the oven light, and if needed replace it.
