The reasons why homeowners install GE built-in ovens in their home are obvious. They provide you with tasty meals many times a day. People, however, forget the importance of properly maintaining their ovens though. Of all the conveniences in the modern home today, the one that makes life the easiest and saves a great deal of time is the oven. Life can be really great when your oven is operating as it should. However, when it malfunctions or loses efficiency in cooking, this can really have an impact on your personal efficiency. When the oven refuses to lock there might be a number of different issues that need to be to be solved. Not only are you wasting energy by having your oven door just slightly ajar the whole bake cycle, but if someone touches the oven door or the stove knobs when they are hot from that escaping heat, it can hurt quite a bit. If the hinges on your oven door are responsible for it not closing all the way, you can usually hear or feel it. Worn or rusty hinges have a tendency to squeal when used. Furthermore, they make the oven door require a bit of force to move in any direction. As door hinges are meant to last the lifetime of an oven, if your hinges have rusted prematurely, you may also want to look into what has caused it. Sometimes it is really as simple as cleaning your oven more often. Often this issue can manifest after you press the self-cleaning button, even by accident. The latch can remain engaged until the cycle is completed. When this happens, the obvious solution may be to run the self-clean cycle. However, without the door being locked or even closed all the way, it is dangerous. It runs at a high temperature, and you do not want it seeping out. Instead, you will want to unplug your oven. Leaving it unplugged will work to reset your oven, so the latch may disengage on its own. Many of the most common problems can be cut short in the early phases. Things like the door latch and hinges can be prevented with regular maintenance, while other common breakdowns can be fixed without calling in the maintenance assistant.
