The Burner Is Stuck on My Frigidaire

Chemical Cleaners

• Chemical cleaners formulated for your stovetop contain a combination of chemicals and microbeads that loosen caked-on soil and slough off hard stains. Chemical cleaning solutions should only be used in a well-ventilated area. Spraying the chemical cleaning solution into a soft cloth is recommended rather than spraying directly onto the burner, as chemical residue can result in noxious fumes when the burner is used.

White Vinegar

• White vinegar is a natural alternative to chemical cleaning products that safely breaks up stains on stovetops without harming the stovetop's surface. Distilled white vinegar is found at most grocery stores and is a common cleaning solution due to its powerful, nontoxic properties.

Dishwashing Liquid Detergent

• Commercial dishwashing liquid detergents are known for cutting grease and eliminate caked-on stains on different surfaces including stainless steel or porcelain. Rubbing the dishwashing liquid around the burner's area loosens the hardened spills and allows for easy burner removal. Gradually add 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid detergent at a time to a damp cloth to avoid oversaturating the stovetop's surface.

Baking Soda

• Baking soda becomes a scouring agent when mixed with a small amount of water. Cleaning the burner area with a baking soda paste made of 2 parts baking soda and 1 part water lifts hardened liquid from the stovetop without scratching the stovetop's surface.
