It’s Turkey Time
Its Tuesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. You know grandma’s pumpkin pie recipe like the back of your hand. Your GE oven faithly served you for a decade of holiday’s past. First set the preheat to 375 degrees. Next you slide your pie crusts for a blind bake. Then 30 minutes later the crust come out doughy and underfinished (or worse burnt to a crisp). You can see Aunt Cindy’s disappointment, what do you do?
First, try the Pilsbury biscuit test. Head to the store, grab a tube of your favorite rolls from the dairy section. When you get home, preheat the oven per the instructions. Then when if the preheat alert goes off, make sure the oven’s been preheating for at 30 minutes to reach ideal temeprature. Next bake the biscuits per the recipe. Then if you have a desirable golden biscuit the oven’s working fine. If they’re doughy or burned reach out to De Anza Appliance to request an oven calibration.
What’s an Oven Calibration?
It takes time to accurately gauge temperatures. Don’t use your oven the day of the appointment. Bringing the oven from cold to preheat allows for the most accurate temperature measurements. First your appliance repair technician measures actual temperature with their thermal probe. Next your technician will measure high and low temperature ossilations over three peaks and valleys. Then your temperatures are averaged to show your true average temperature. Lastly your appliance repair technician reprograms the board or adjust the thermostat of the oven to ideal tempreatures. After calibration if the oven has any other failures your technician can continue diagnosis to see if a control, temperature probe, or thermostat needs replacement.
Oven calibrations start at $310 for single wall ovens and $390 for double wall ovens. Any other repairs aside from oven calibrations are quoted with discounted labor rates. Any oven repair or calibration by De Anza Appliance includes a 90 day warranty.
