KitchenAid Oven Racks

How You Know It's Time for an Oven Rack Replacement

KitchenAid oven racks, like other frequently used parts such as heating elements and oven doors, are susceptible to wear and tear over time. Below are some common scenarios that may lead to the need for replacement oven racks:

• Corrosion and Rust: Prolonged exposure to moisture or acidic foods can cause the metal to corrode or rust. This not only compromises the structural integrity but can also cause potential contamination.
• Warpage: Overloading the oven rack with heavy pots or pans can result in warping. A warped rack doesn't sit securely in its slot, affecting the even distribution of heat during cooking.
• Mechanical Damage: Pulling the oven rack out too forcefully or jamming it back into the oven can bend or twist its frame, leading to misalignment. This makes it challenging to slide the rack in and out smoothly.
• Coating Deterioration: Some oven racks have specialized coatings, making them more durable and easier to clean. Over time, these coatings may flake or peel off, making the rack less effective and potentially hazardous.
• Accidental Breakage: Sometimes, breakages occur from accidental drops or impacts, such as hitting the oven rack against a hard surface while removing it for cleaning.
• Age: Over the years, the repetitive heating and cooling cycles can weaken the metal, leading to cracks or breaks.
