Melted Tin Foil in bottom of oven





 =New Kenmore - just bought at Sears end of August - I put tin foil on the botton to catch spills and the foil melted.  This is a brand new oven and doesnt have the coil so even though I have used the foil in this manner for years in my old oven, I now have a huge problem with my brand new appliance.  How can I  clean it off?
i would work under the fume hood, and try to get something into the container to smash them, such as a scoopula, mortar, spatula, etc. just be really careful not to contaminate the crystals or get any on your skin.

if all else fails, put the container in a water bath on a hotplate in the fume hood, and try melting them.

hope it helps!

p.s. if you don't have a fume hood, i advise not working with phenol. In the middle of the TT youll Find a C-Clip It needs to be Removed before the Platter can be removed,You either have a Broken Belt,Or the Grease in the Guide is Old and must be Cleaned out and Relubed you have to have freon added by a shop, i tried adding freon and it didnt work for me it has to be done by a special machine never stick anything into a toaster that isn't meant to go in there – you’ll be risking a severe electric shock or fire.


make sure you clean out the crumb tray frequently. this will help keep your toaster working properly and prevent fire.


if you notice an odd smell or any sparking, unplug the toaster immediately and contact the retailer and/or manufacturer.


always store the toaster away from the sink or any liquids that could spill on it.


when the toaster is unplugged and cooled down, wipe the toaster down with a soft dry cloth, but never use water or any sort of cleaner inside it.


if it’s cracked or damaged in any way, stop using it and either contact the retailer and/or manufacturer or buy a new one.


always turn off the toaster at the socket when not in use. brother, you better get a manual. i think they teach a course in this at the local community college. seriously, i can't responsibly explain the procedure to you in a venue like this.

 That being said, I have 137 of these units in one of my hotels and have not had a single one needing to be reset. You probably are going to need a new control board kit. These can be purchased from Amana. They are $130. Make sure that you have pulled the heater coil out and inspected it first. Also, there was a recall years ago where Amana was supposed to contact and send out new voltage switches. These are the round black things that the Brown heater wires connect to on the upper and lower side of the heating coil. You should also try to replace those if you find the coil in good condition. I have had those resolve heating issues. Most of the heating issues were a result of a bad relay on the control board though.   

 Please remember to rate this fix. the fuel filter should be located just below to the right of the air filter box. this is in the right side of the engine compartment. to change the fuel filter you must remove the air filter box. the top fitting is a banjo fitting and the bottom fitting is a standard screw in flared fitting. yikes, this can cause the damper film to stick together and result in “damper lock” . . . .

i suggest refill, open the front cover and trick the leaf switch so the front cover can remain open.

run a powerful cleaning on the channel pair and watch for ink movement. it should go pretty fast. contin… ![How do you test a coil?](https://static.3dstockphoto.com/thumb/00/00/61/90/uwx619072.jpg)

If a coil problem is suspected, measure the coil's primary and secondary resistance with an ohmmeter. If either is out of specifications, the coil needs to be replaced. A coil can be easily bench tested with a digital 10 megaohm impedance ohmmeter. general procedure: make sure the engine is cool. loosen hose clamp where lower radiator hose attaches to engine - pull forward. place clean pan under hose to catch coolant that might spill out. pull hose off. catch coolant in pan. remove bolts on the fitting that the hose was attached to. remove gasket. remove thermostat (note how it was positioned and which side was facing out before removing -- there may be an alignment notch). install the new thermostat (the way the original was sitting,with the little "barbell" at 12:00) and gasket. re-attach hose fitting w/bolts. re-attach hose and clamp. put coolant that spilled out back in radiator. start engine and allow to warm up and check for leaks. note - if you need to remove your alternator so as to access the nuts holding the thermostat cover remember to disconnect battery before removing the alternator leads to prevent shorting. good post on parts location and repair procedure. only thing i'd like to add is antifreeze has a limited life before it loses it's ph balance and will turn acidic or base, either one will cause corrosion in the cooling system. loss of additives can also cause the cooling system to start acting as a ground conductor which will damage the cooling system. there are many different ideas on when to change, i try to change mine every 3 years or 24k miles. if you want there are test strips to check ph balance, protection temp and phosphate levels (prevent oxygen molecules from collecting around cylinder liners and etching them - usually more problematic on diesels). hth, dave
