However, all that cooking and baking can put a strain on kitchen appliances. With just a few weeks to go until Turkey Day, now is the perfect time to inspect and prepare major appliances to make sure everything is in good working order. Preventative maintenance and timely repairs are key to avoiding stressful breakdowns during the holiday rush. This appliance checklist will help homeowners troubleshoot issues and make needed preparations for Thanksgiving cooking.<\/p>\n<p>Remember don&#8217;t wait till the last minute to check the unit in case parts are needed. If you have to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\">order any parts<\/a> there could be delays because of shipping closures due to the holiday or out-of-stock parts. So the sooner you check the unit and get the parts ordered the better luck you are going to have with getting the part on time. You can check with us at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><strong>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/strong><\/a> for parts. Use your model number to locate the correct part you need for your unit.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oven operation<\/h2>\n<p>As the primary appliance, your range takes center stage during Turkey Day prep. Not only will you rely on it for roasting the main course, but also for baking pies, casseroles, vegetables, and more. It&#8217;s especially important to give your oven a thorough cleaning and functionality test.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use an oven-safe cleaner to remove any baked-on messes from the interior walls and door.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe down seals to maintain a tight seal when cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat the oven and carefully monitor temperatures with an oven thermometer until fully heated and stabilized.<\/li>\n<li>Verify each function, such as bake and broil, heats evenly by rotating test items halfway through cooking. Address any problems to avoid undercooked or burnt dishes come Thanksgiving.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t run the self-cleaning function before Thanksgiving. Ovens can get stuck in self-clean mode or have any number of problems. Wait until after your meal is prepared to clean the oven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/oven-tips-for-cooking-a-holiday-turkey-ham-more\/\"><strong>Read more: Oven Tips for Cooking a Holiday Turkey, Ham &amp; More<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stovetop operation<\/h2>\n<p>From searing the turkey to simmering sides, your stovetop will get extensive use throughout the holidays.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take time to disassemble surface burners and clean away food particles or residue.<\/li>\n<li>Unclog any fine burner holes with thin wire to make sure you have proper flame dispersion.<\/li>\n<li>Vacuum out the range hood filter to remove grease buildup.<\/li>\n<li>With all components dust-free and debris-free, test each burner knob individually.
