To help avoid frequent repairs of your kitchen appliances (like ovens, grills and cooktops), regular cleaning and maintenance is vital as it affects the life of the appliance. The better the appliance is maintained and cleaned, the longer certain components last.
Grease, oil and built-up cooking residue can all seep into unwanted and inaccessible areas, which can cause certain parts to fail, as they are not designed to be covered in oil and grease. Inevitably, faults can and do occur in these appliances over time as they age.
However, some of you may experience a fault in a very short period of time after purchasing a new appliance. In this instance, it is more than likely a warranty-related issue and should be immediately taken up with the manufacturer or retail supplier where the product was purchased for further assistance in repairing or replacing the item.
If your appliance has served you for many years and has been a very reliable appliance, there will come a time when it will require some part replacement or repairs. In some instances, the cost of parts and labour in repairing these appliances outweighs or comes close to the cost of a newly installed version of the appliance.
In these cases, replacing the item is more convenient when considering time, money and warranty. However, in situations where one of the many elements of a cooking appliance decides to fail, it can be worth repairing as this will be more cost-effective depending on the amount of problems it has. Hence, a licensed electrician should be called to sort out the issue in the safest and cheapest way possible!
