Hello, peterson
I was trying to help you out here. Maybe this will help some? I was going back to
some customers that asked questions in the recent past and even farther back. It appeared that no one answered some of them,
So, I thought I would take some of my personal time to see if I can help. Even
though this Informational site may not have your exact model or brand, this
site will help you a lot. Here is a site
link about everything you want to know
about ovens and possibly yours, from repair to
trouble shooting it. Now go easy on me, I am just trying to help. If it does great if not, I am sorry.

Please if this helped you at all, if you can find the time and in your heart to rate my help and some kind words written
would be appreciated for my free help , I would appreciate it.
Here is also my direct link to my own pages of other areas of my expertise for other
problems you might have in Automotive, Appliance, and Electronics. Drop In
anytime for my help.
Thanks, Mike

Use "The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner" to dissolve the foil. *Caution* when the cleaner is applied to the foil a chemical reaction occurs releasing some harmful fumes so please use outside or in a well ventilated area. I just did this to a Frigidaire oven I bought from Lowes at a discounted price. The previous owners bought it, did not read the owners manual or just disregarded the warnings on using foil in the oven and thought they would line the bottom pan with foil to help make it easier to clean (Good idea, but don't try it on the hidden element ovens). With the heating element being hidden under the drip pan the heat is hot enough to melt the foil and fuse it to the pan. Now most of the pans on these ovens are removable by just a couple of screws and I strongly recommend removing the pan when doing this. Squirt some Works toilet bowl cleaner on it in a well ventilated area and watch it go to work. It took about 15 minutes for it to dissolve all the foil on my oven, then I rinsed it clean and reinstalled it in the oven. The pan does have a slight discoloration on it, not from the cleaner but from the foil being melted onto the pan, if you choose you can buff this out. Most of the modern ovens have the ceramic coated drip pans in them so the Works toilet bowl cleaner will not harm them, unless you have scratched the finish off. Works Toilet bowl cleaner contains a fair amount of hydrochloric acid which is what makes this work so well.
