Frequently-replaced parts in Modern Maid electric ranges
- Electronic oven control board. The electronic oven control (EOC) board governs the timing and execution of oven functions in the range. It's usually attached to the control panel and often has a digital display clock mounted on the front of its housing.
- Outer oven door glass panel. The outer oven door glass panel is the heat-resistant piece of glass that forms the outer part of the oven door.
- Oven door hinges. The hinges on an oven door control the rate at which the door opens and also allow the door to stay open at an angle. Hinges are usually installed in pairs so the hinges and tension springs match, ensuring the smooth operation of the door.
- Oven door lock assembly. The oven door lock assembly is a safety mechanism that prevents accidental burns and oven fires by latching the door shut during self-cleaning. The door unlocks when the oven cools to a safe temperature (usually less than 200 degrees F). It's also used on ovens with the child lock-out feature. The assembly includes the lock and switches that detect whether the door is locked.
- Bake element. The bake element is at the bottom of an electric oven and provides heat for baking.
How to clean streaks covering the inner oven door glass on your Modern Maid electric range
You can typically clean spills on the outer surfaces of the oven door glass. Sometimes, spills work their way down into the inside of the oven door through top oven door vents. To clean streaks on the inner surfaces of the oven window, pull off the oven door and disassemble it to clean the glass as shown in this video. In some situations, you may need to replace the door glass when you can't clean the streaks.
