One word of caution: Most of the time when an untrained person gets involved in stove repairs he has a great chance of creating a "basket of disassembled parts" -- where your stove is a mess of parts that the stove repair technician must then reassemble before he can even check what the trouble is. Only once he has put the stove back together can he repair the original problem. This, of course, ends up costing you more for the same repair. In addition, if you get involved in stove repairs which you are not familiar and experienced with, it can be dangerous. This is because you deal with electricity and mechanical systems, so you can easily injure yourself. The information bellow is only for educational purpose and we don’t advise anyone to do your own stove repair.

At Home on the Kitchen Stove

The stove may appear to be just a simple appliance that serves as a heat source. In reality it's called on to do much more. It must deliver controlled amounts of heat to the right places at the right times on the cook top or surface stoves and to the oven. Within the oven, the heat must be even and the oven walls must be capable of containing the heat to prevent the outside from becoming dangerously warm and to minimize heat loss.
Gas and electric stoves are much alike in the basic construction (4 the cabinet, oven cavity, and insulation procedures; the works arc entirely different because of the two energy sources involved. The two are practically even in sales.
ELECTRIC stoveS
The power supply for electric stoves is a three-wire, 115/230-volt circuit, very much like the one used for automatic clothes dryers, except that the stove circuit must use heavier wiring because of the higher current flow when it is in full use. In most cases the third (middle) conductor is grounded, and often serves as a portion of 115-volt circuit used to power burners on low heat and the timer motor and lighting circuits. The oven elements and surface stoves on high hem (and, with infinite-heat switches, on all heat settings) make use of the 230-volt circuits only.
(In some sections of the country, particularly in New York City, 208-volt power supplies are sometimes used for home stoves. The stoves designed for this condition ire basically the same as 230-volt stoves except that the elements are rated for use at the lower voltage. The 208-volt rated elements have a heal output comparable Io the 230-volt elements when both are operated at their rated Voltage. It is possible to use 230-vole elements on 208-volt power supply, but cooking time will be reduced. It's not wise, however, 141 substitute 208-volt stoves when 2311-volt stoves should he used, for 1110 higher voltage will lead to early failure of the element. It should also be noted that in most instances a separate grounding conductor should be used from the frame of the stove to a cold-water line. The National Electrical Code allows grounding by connection to the grounded car cult conductors if they are not smaller than No. 10 AWG on ii 115/230-volt, single-phase, three-wire circuit or on a 115/208-volt, three-phase, and four-wire circuit. If you don't know which of these you have and the three-phase power supply are not common in residences a check with your power company will bring a quick answer.)
When the combined 115- and 230-volt circuits which can be obtained from a 230-volt power supply are used to vary the heat of the surface stoves, a five- or seven-position switch is normally used. The switch may be a rotary or pushbutton type. You can recognize this type of circuitry because the element itself will have two separate and distinct coils, a small one (referred to as the inner coil) and a large one, referred to as the outer coil because of the location of the outermost rings. Each element will have three leads one to the outer element, one to the inner element, and one to a double terminal connected to both sections.
