Why has baumatic B501SS oven covered in light gray coating inside when heated, now not working

I never really fixed the problem, but have avoided it most of the time. Tell me if I'm wrong, but when you open the door to pull out your food after cooking, the steam from the food comes up and fries the control panel, right? To temporarily fix (reset), we just flipped the circuit breaker on and off. To avoid it after that, we would hold a cookie sheet at the top of the oven door, blocking the control panel when we opened the door after the food had cooked. This keeps the steam from blasting the control panel and locking it. Instead, the steam goes into the room.

Pretty ridiculous to have to do that, isn't it? :-( I think we're reaping what we so when we outsource our manufacturing to China...

My oven lights but takes ages to cook food. Also flame goes off if oven door is closed at the beginning of lighting the oven

Have an appliance repairman check if the oven is still under warranty and if any recalls on the door are in force.

Hi, Some ovens are self cleaning During the cleaning process, the oven heats up to a temperature of 900 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat cooks off food and spills inside the oven, leaving ash that can easily be wiped out. The oven door locks while it is cleaning to prevent the door from being opened. Self cleaning ovens are better insulated than regular ovens to keep the extreme heat inside.

Instructions

Read the owner's manual that came with your oven before you perform self cleaning. Although all self cleaning ovens work basically the same way, there may be slight variations for some manufacturers and models.

Take out the oven racks. You need to clean the oven racks by hand, and then put them back in when the oven is done cleaning.

Wipe up any spills and messes inside the oven first, using warm water and a mild soap. Ovens smoke more during cleaning when there is food inside. Wash the inside of the oven door as well. Do not scrub the door gaskets, just gently wipe them off. Damaging the gaskets prevents the oven from sealing.

Lock your oven door manually if your model does not lock it automatically when you clean.

Open a window near the oven for ventilation. There is a certain amount of smoke when you clean the oven. The dirtier the oven is, the more smoke is created.

Turn the control on your oven to "clean" and set the timer for 2 to 5 hours depending on how dirty your oven is, and what the manufacturer recommends.

Wait for the cleaning to finish and the oven to cool before opening door. When oven is fully cooled wipe up any ash inside. If your oven is not completely clean, next time set the timer for longer. If your oven is spotless you might want to see if you can get away with a shorter cleaning time.

Tips & Warnings

Because self cleaning ovens are better insulated, they are more energy efficient when used for cooking. However, if you run the self cleaning feature on your oven more than once a month, you offset the savings you realized. With light to moderate use your oven should be able to be cleaned every one to three months.


Save on the electricity used with a self cleaning oven by cleaning the oven right after use at a high temperature. For example, if you set your oven to clean after making French fries at 450 degrees, it takes less energy to get the oven up to the required 900 degrees.


If you have pet birds, take them out of the house before cleaning your oven. Over heated cooking surfaces, oils and fats, can create fumes that are harmful for a bird's delicate respiratory system.

Hope it helped.

You most likely have a bad control board. Using your model number, go here to see which one it calls for.

If the oven is electrically heated, then more than likely, the oven element has failed.

This is located behind a removeable cover at the rear of the oven.

It would look like it is over cooking so that could well be the stat

You will probably find that it is the oven element that has failed.
This is to be found at the rear of the oven compartment behind a removeable cover.
Hope this helps.

Always cook food in the middle of the oven. Assuming this is an electric oven, there is a heating element up there that will cause burning of food, much like a broiler works.

If you must cook that high up in the oven, then cover the food your cooking with foil.

If the fan is working in the main oven and there is no heat, then it will be a faulty element.
Remove the cover at rear of oven
and you will see the round element. remove it and replace with new one.
Plz rate my solution .
Thanks.
