KitchenAid KDRU707V Oven Heat Repair
Owners of the KDRU707V, also sold as the KDRU707VSS, usually reach us with an oven that no longer heats the way it did: slow preheats, a roast browned on one side only, or a rattle from the door.
Heat problems have three usual sources on this range. An electric version can have a bake or broil element that has lost strength. A gas version can have an igniter that glows but no longer opens the valve. Either one can also have a sensor that reads off its setting. We test each in turn, and we also seat the door glass so the rattle stops and the seal holds heat.
Smelling gas near the range calls for getting everyone outside and phoning the gas utility. You get a written price before we begin, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
A bake or broil element that has weakened, or a sensor that misreads, causes lopsided heat. We check the element visually and by meter and compare sensor readings with a thermometer.
Look at the oven bottom: a flat cover or visible bake element suggests electric, while a burner tube and igniter suggest gas. The model number and rating plate confirm it, and we check before ordering parts.
It is worth fixing. Glass that has moved can let heat escape and may eventually crack. We refit it in its frame and replace worn retainers.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
