Oven Maintenance Tips for Sherman Oaks and Surrounding Areas
At Sherman Oaks Elite Service, we’ve worked on everything from standard electric ovens to high-end luxury ranges made by Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf, Miele, and Thermador. Through years of repairs and tune-ups, one thing has become clear — regular oven maintenance can make a huge difference in how your appliance performs and how long it lasts.
We service Sherman Oaks and nearby areas including Studio City, Encino, Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Valley Village, and Toluca Lake. Many of our customers own luxury appliances, and with a few simple maintenance steps, these ovens can stay in top shape for years.
Keep the interior clean
Grease and food residue can cause smoke, strange odors, and uneven heating. Wiping up spills after each use and scheduling a deep clean every few months will help keep your oven efficient. For premium ovens like Viking and Wolf, always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines to protect specialized finishes and components.
Check temperature accuracy
Even the best ovens can run hotter or cooler than the temperature you set. If you notice your food coming out underdone or overdone, the thermostat might need calibration. While you can test with an oven thermometer, precise adjustments — especially for brands like Thermador or Miele — are best handled by a professional.
Inspect the door seal
The gasket around your oven door plays a big role in energy efficiency and cooking consistency. If it’s worn or damaged, heat escapes and your oven works harder than necessary. Replacing this seal is a simple, quick repair that makes a big difference, especially on Sub-Zero and Wolf models designed for precise temperature control.
Replace burnt-out lights
Oven lights allow you to check your cooking progress without opening the door and losing heat. Some luxury ovens require special bulbs, so make sure to use the correct replacements to avoid electrical problems.
Book annual maintenance
Even if your oven seems to be running fine, an annual service appointment can extend its life and prevent surprise breakdowns. At Sherman Oaks Elite Service, we check heating elements, clean critical parts, inspect wiring, and make sure everything operates according to factory standards. This is particularly important for high-end brands where parts are more specialized and expensive.
