| So I have this fabulous new double Electrolux oven and decided to put aluminum foil on the floor of both the ovens before baking for thanksgiving.
I have apparently ruined the ovens. The aluminum fused to the bottom of both ovens and caused the oven interior bottom to warp. I'm in the Dallas area and need to get someone by to replace the oven interiors. What do you suppose that will cost? |

| Well I found a replacement liner and I thought I'd give replacing them a shot. At a couple hundred bucks for a pair its gotta be a lot cheaper than getting an appliance repair company out. Anybody ever done something like this? I'm pretty handy so I'm hopeful. |
Here is a link that might be useful: replacement range liner

| I would at least call Electrolux and talk to them before you do that. Maybe they could give you the best way to go about doing that. |

| I have contacted Electrolux, not much help. The repair people they have recommended have pitiful reviews. Can somebody recommend a good appliance service in the Dallas area? I know this wont be cheap, and I'll pay what I have to, but I need this fixed. Is there not a reliable service company for this large job? |
|
| As you have learned from this experience, DO NOT place foil on the bottom of an oven that has a hidden element (beneath the cavity). |
|
| Ya think? |
|
| So nobody on this board from the Dallas area with a recommendation? |

| @rocks911: I'm not an appliance repairman, but I'm an engineer. A couple of years ago a buddy of mine wanted to replace an oven liner (not Electrolux). What a bear - we had to remove all kinds of stuff including the door. The worst part was getting the liner back in because of the insulation. I highly doubt there's anyone who would want to tackle the job - I see a high probability of something not working, misaligned, etc. IMO there's too much to go wrong with lots of laibility. |
