An oven has various parts with each part having an advantage of its own. These oven parts function in different ways to make the oven a complete whole. It is because of these oven parts that each oven has a special look of its own.

Almost all the types of oven have the same advantageous parts. But sometimes an oven might have different special parts of its own that make it useful than other conventional ovens.

Following are the advantageous oven parts common to all ovens:

the doors are usually made of stainless steel. When tightly closed, they help the food to cook better by sealing any outside air from entering the interiors of the oven.

they hold the cooking container and can be heated to various temperatures according to the need of the food. The trays are removable and easy to clean.

- these are acid resistant. They also trap the heat and do not spread it to other oven parts.

- they control the temperature and raise it and lower it according to the convenience of the user.

- most of the ovens have fans. The fans help in cooling of the food. Sometimes the fans as in convection oven help the hot air to enter the food and make it tender and delicious.

- there are interior lights that help you to clearly view the interior of the oven. There are also indicator lights, which cycle on and off to indicate the end of cooking and indicate the raise of temperature.

These oven parts often differ in their range of functions depending on how it is used for industrial, laboratory, hotels or homely purposes.

Oven rack is one of the most important parts of the oven. It is the rack, which holds the food. The oven racks are available in grill form or in tray form, depending on the oven design.

Most of the time the oven racks are removable and makes cleaning easier. You can completely separate them from the oven, wash and rub them and place them back again. When the racks are not removable you should clean all the corners of the rack and oven after you finish cooking. You can also wash the rack with a damp soapy cloth or cleaning chemicals and dry it properly before inserting it into the oven again.

Each oven rack maintains a different temperature. Each rack is specialized for different types of cooking; depending upon the temperature it can reach. While in one rack you can cook and bake, you can use the other racks for broiling, stewing and simmering the food. You should know the level of temperature your oven rack can withstand and then cook food as per the requirement.

The three-tier oven rack leads to fast cooking. You can cook various dishes at one time. These oven racks are crafted of rustproof stainless steel and is sturdy enough to hold three levels of heavy and large casserole dishes.

Using an Electric or Microwave oven is very common in modern lifestyle. Some basic care should be taken while using an Oven. As the users often lack information about the mechanical components of an oven, when there arise any mechanical problem they start finding experts who can repair the oven.

Circuit Breaker, Main Wiring and Oven Wiring are the parts of an oven, failure of any of these components may stop the oven to work. If power if not supplied inside an oven you need to check the blown fuse or the tripped circuit breaker. The same problem may arise if the wire at the back of the oven burned out due to electrical fault.

The bake element of the oven is the black, pencil-thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. When the element burns out, you need to replace it. Even after the replacement sometimes baking may take too long time to finish if the thermostat or the sensor is defective. Ovens without a digital display often use a mechanical system for controlling temperature. While replacing the knob, there is a screw at the back of it with a small calibration plate. You can untie the screw, adjust the plate, and then tighten the plate again. If the knob is not adjustable then replace the thermostat.

When the broiler element is burned out the oven fails to broil any food item. In that case replacement of the broiler element is necessary. The heating element of the oven is not repairable.

Sometime the burner may set to ‘high’ regardless the setting of the burner knob. Then after checking the circuits for any other grounds, the switch needs to be replaced. If neither the bake nor the broiler heating elements work properly, the clock buttons and the knob should be checked properly. Moreover, due to any defect in the thermostat, selector switch or common wiring the above problem may arise.

When the electronic clock develops a defect, either the touchpad or the circuit board or both need to be replaced. Often an error code on the digital display screen of the oven tells us about the mechanical defects.

You can overcome most of the problems by simply going through the user’s manual to find out the meaning of the codes and then take steps to repair your oven.
