Baking something overnight can have disastrous effects. Electric ovens may melt their own control boards, while gas ovens will slowly but steadily release carbon monoxide into the air.

Samsung makes some of the best, feature-packed gas and electric ranges money can buy. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not impervious to mechanical issues from time to time. One of the most annoying problems people have with Samsung ovens is unlocking a door that they don’t remember locking.

If your Frigidaire dishwasher door is inexplicably locked, the child lock system might be engaged. You can tell when the lock system is on if the Lock or Loc backlight is turned on.

A clogged sink is a clear sign that there is an obstruction in the sewer line. Do not run your dishwasher if its drain line is connected to the same sewer line as your kitchen sink.

After setting up your gas oven, you will need to ignite the pilot light. To do this, you will need to open the bottom cabinet and place a live fire near the pilot light tube. When the pilot light is on, shut the bottom cabinet door and preheat your oven for baking.

After cleaning the inside of your dishwasher (including the filter), check underneath the sink and disconnect the drain hose. Use a long, dull, bendable object to remove solid debris from the drain line before reconnecting it.

Miele household appliances are among some of the best out there. They’re also some of the priciest, which is probably why they are so reliable and long-lasting. But when it comes to dishwashers, even Miele dishwashers require resetting once in a while.

If you cleaned your oven using common household cleaning agents (vinegar, baking soda) or via the self-cleaning feature, you can begin using the oven immediately. However, if you used a commercial cleaner, you need to turn your oven on to 300°F for 15 to 30 minutes to burn the trace amounts of chemicals.
