If you\u2019re dealing with acrid or otherwise unwelcome smells when you cook, the source is probably a dirty heating element or the drip pan beneath. Just like every other part of your stove, it\u2019s important to keep those calrod heating elements and their drip pans as clean as possible, and today, we\u2019re going to show you how.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading for a guide to cleaning and upkeep for electric stove burners. We\u2019ll walk you through cleaning them, keeping them in good shape, and figuring out when they should just be replaced.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why clean electric range burners?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your stove\u2019s heating elements and drip pans clean has several benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll reduce the risk of a fire catching in your kitchen; whether it\u2019s oil on the burner itself, or a lost macaroni noodle sitting in the drip pan underneath, any food debris in close proximity to that heating element risks catching fire while it\u2019s on.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything trapped in the drip pan or splashed onto the heating element will produce an unpleasant, usually acrid smell, and potentially smoke, every time you turn that heating element on. Cleaning it will prevent this.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dirty heating elements may not cook evenly. Burnt-on material will insulate the element, preventing heat transfer to pots and pans.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clean stove top will prolong the lifespan of your appliance. Heating a dirty calrod heating element over and over accelerates wear and tear, and any old food or oil left to linger can contribute to corrosion and other damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heating Coil Cleaning Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s review some basic cleaning safety tips before we begin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never attempt to clean stove top burners while the range is on<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shut your stove off and allow all accessories to cool completely before you begin any cleaning. If you\u2019re experiencing issues with your stove and aren\u2019t sure whether it\u2019s on or not, unplug it or flip the circuit breaker before doing any cleaning, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When cleaning the cooktop, clean around heating coils<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re cleaning your stovetop or oven, be sure to clean around the heating elements, especially if you\u2019re using harsh cleaners. These cleaners can seep into and short out elements. If you want to clean your range\u2019s heating elements, do that separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove heating coils and drip pans before cleaning them<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid potential damage to the rest of the appliance, you should additionally remove all heating elements and drip pans and clean them away from the range itself. On almost all electric ranges, the heating elements are simply plugged into a receptacle beneath the stove top, and can be removed by hand. The drip pan, likewise, can be lifted out once the heating element is removed. If your range\u2019s heating coils don\u2019t come away with a pull, they may be held in place by a screw. Consult your appliance manual to be sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow any accessories to dry completely before reinstalling them<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For heating coils, if moisture has seeped into the coil sheath, the element could short out. For drip pans, you risk getting water beneath the stovetop, which could damage the rest of the appliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning The Heating Coils<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start cleaning, remember to turn off your range and allow everything to cool completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you can complete this work in the sink, take care when cleaning the coil and work in a dry sink basin. You want to minimize how much water the coils come in contact with. Don\u2019t soak them or dunk them in water \u2013 it could cause a short. Instead, have a few bowls handy \u2013 one with clean water, one with soapy water, and one for mixing<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools for the Job<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When cleaning coil heating elements, it\u2019s best to keep it simple. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild dish soap<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baking soda<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of wash rags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of soft sponges<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bowls for holding clean water, soapy water, and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And as always, don\u2019t hesitate to spare your hands and wear some rubber cleaning gloves while you work!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Remove the coils from your stove and do a quick inspection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heating elements are typically plug-in and can be removed by hand. Find the hole in the drip pan and grip the element from the opposite side. Tip the coils up slightly \u2013 20 degrees at most \u2013 and pull the heating element out. It should come away fairly easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there are any big chunks of food stuck to them, you can go ahead and wipe those off, now. Then, give each heating element a once-over. Check the coils themselves for signs of damage like swelling, scorch marks, cracks, or holes, and check the two terminals as well. If you notice any damage at this point, you may need to replace, rather than clean, your stove\u2019s heating elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Dish soap and water should be enough to deal with basic grime<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a damp rag or sponge and some dish soap to clean each coil. Particularly if you have a quality dish soap that\u2019s good at breaking down cooking oil, this should be sufficient for cleaning away most grime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it\u2019s time to rinse, use a new clean rag or sponge wetted with clean warm water to wipe away the soap. <\/span><b>Do not submerge the heating coils in water if you can help it. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water can become trapped inside, breaking the coil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. If you\u2019re dealing with tougher stains, bust out the baking soda<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a small bowl, mix water with baking soda until it is a thick paste. Use this paste in tandem with a damp washcloth to gently scrub at any stubborn grime or stains, then wipe it away. If this doesn\u2019t lift the grime away, apply another coat of baking soda paste directly to the stain and allow it to dry \u2013 about 20 minutes should do \u2013 before wiping it away again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re finished, make sure you thoroughly wipe away any remaining baking soda residue with a clean, damp sponge or cloth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Allow the coils to dry completely<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not put your range\u2019s heating elements back in place before they have dried completely. Allow them to sit on a clean towel to air dry completely before reinstalling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning The Drip Pans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Range drip pans can stand up to a bit more than the heating elements can, but you should still remove them from the range completely before cleaning them to avoid getting water beneath the stovetop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools for the Job<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a number of different ways to clean your range\u2019s drip pans. We\u2019ll provide a basic cleaning tool kit here:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dish soap<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft &amp; coarse sponges<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rag or paper towels<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baking soda<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For extremely crusty drip pans, you may need to break out some harsher chemicals:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Household ammonia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallon-size resealable bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gloves<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you should always wear gloves when working with ammonia!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Remove all drip pans<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to remove each heating element to get at the drip pans. You can remove the heating coils by following the steps outlined in the above section. Once the heating coils are out, you can remove the drip pans by lifting them up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Wipe out excess grime<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a rag or paper towel, wipe out any excess grime. This\u2019ll just make things a little easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Clean with dish soap and water as normal, and use a baking soda paste for stuck on gunk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike your heating elements, which can\u2019t be submerged, the drip pans can be cleaned like any normal metal kitchen tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If, after a thorough scrub and rinse, the drip pans are still grimy, you can apply a paste made of baking soda and water directly onto any remaining stains. Let that dry before scrubbing it away with a damp sponge. Be sure to rinse thoroughly after!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, if your drip pans are clean, you can allow them to dry before reinstalling them in your stove. If you\u2019re dealing with caked on grease that isn\u2019t coming away with standard washing tricks, you may need to try an ammonia soak.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. For stubborn greasy stains, do an ammonia soak<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Put those gloves on, now!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll want to put each pan in a resealable plastic bag, then add \u00bc cup of ammonia to each bag. Carefully seal these and set them somewhere to sit for at least 12 hours \u2013 like your sink. Make sure that pets and children can\u2019t reach the bags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ammonia fumes are going to be very strong once the soak is done, so make sure your kitchen \u2013 or whatever room you\u2019re opening the bags in \u2013 is well ventilated. Once the soak is done, get those gloves back on and carefully remove each drip pan. Reseal the bags for proper disposal, and then thoroughly rinse and scrub each drip pan. Any remaining gunk should come away quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Allow the drip pans to dry completely before putting them back<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can typically towel dry drip pans to get them adequately dry!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we send you off, let\u2019s review a few of the questions we\u2019re frequently asked about stovetop cleaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I use these tips to clean the heating elements in my oven?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult your manual first! Your oven\u2019s manufacturer may have specific guidelines for cleaning oven heating elements, or may strictly advise against cleaning them at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I put electric range heating elements in the dishwasher?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Just one run through the dishwasher can damage heating elements beyond repair. Stick to hand washing for these!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I put my stove\u2019s drip pans in the dishwasher?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they\u2019re made from stainless steel, yes! Aluminum drip pans could potentially be damaged by a run through the dishwasher, so double check what material your range\u2019s drip pans are made of before you load them up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do go this route for cleaning your drip pans, be sure to load them onto the upper shelf of your dishwasher.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I soak a heating element to help with cleaning?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Soaking heating elements can allow water inside the coil, causing the internal wire to short out the next time you try to use your stove. Skip soaking when at all possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I use baking soda and vinegar to clean my stove\u2019s heating coils?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not effectively, but you may get a bit of help from the initial foaming action of combining vinegar and baking soda. You\u2019re better off sticking with soap and water or, for tougher stains, just creating a paste of baking soda and water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinegar and baking soda, when combined, do not make a miracle cleaner \u2013 they just produce salt water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I tell if one of my burners is wearing out or damaged?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve cleaned the heating element, check for telltale signs of damage: dark spots, swelling, or holes on the coil and blackening or carbon on the terminals. If you still aren\u2019t sure, or if you think the burner receptacle may have caused the damage, you can test by swapping one of the other calrod elements into the spot where the damaged one sits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do I do if one of my range\u2019s heating elements or drip pans is damaged?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no way to repair damage to a heating element, so you\u2019ll need to replace it. Luckily, replacing both heating elements and drip pans is incredibly easy. You\u2019ll need to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/range-cooktop-oven-heating-element.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pick up a compatible OEM heating element<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
