Diagnosis
Clogged steam vents prevent moisture release during oven use. This can affect performance and cause condensation.
How to Fix It
Use a soft toothpick or plastic dental pick. Gently clear each hole. Follow with a damp cloth wipe. For baked-on grease, use a soft brush dipped in a mild degreaser (diluted Simple Green). Do not use metal picks or excessive force.
If That Didn't Work
Remove the oven door for better access. The vent cover is part of the backguard. You can sometimes lift it slightly after removing a couple of screws underneath, but consult a diagram first.
Heads Up
Never pour water or cleaner directly into the vents. Liquid can run inside the range onto insulation and wiring. Clean only the surface openings.
