View Full Version : Can't replace oven racks

I used the self-cleaning oven feature on my Frigidaire gas range for the first time today, and now the oven racks won't slide back in! I've removed and replaced the racks numerous times in the past, no problem. I waited till the oven had cooled off completely, the racks wouldn't fit. So I heated the oven again, the racks wouldn't fit. Anyone have this problem before?

Thanks

Wierd. I'm curious-how old is the stove? Can you post the model #?

update- I went to Frigidaire's website and downloaded owners manuals for a few different models. They all say to remove the oven racks when self cleaning. They suggest rubbng the edges of the racks that slide with wax paper putting some salad oil on the edges to facilitate reinstalling the racks. Does it seems like the oven cavity is now deformed?
