There is Water Inside My Stove From Cleaning

Moving the Stove

• Ensure the stove is off and, for extra safety, unplug it if the plug is not out of reach. Move the stove about 1 foot away from the wall. This allows access to the areas that require water removal. If the stove is snug with walls or countertops surrounding it, open the oven door slightly and grasp the inside top area and stove top to pull the stove from the wall.

Lifting the Stove Top

• Electric stove tops lift up for cleaning underneath where the electrical parts connect to and heat the coils. Find the ledge on the front of the stove top that connects it to the stove. The ledge should manually lift up with little effort. If the stove has a bar to hold up the stove top, latch the bar into the slot on the stove top, similar to opening the hood of a car using the hood latch to keep the hood open.

Removing the Water

• After the stove top is lifted, check the area under it for water. Use a dry rag to remove the water by wiping around the electrical parts on the surface. Check underneath the lifted stove top for water and wipe it off. Remove the latch and gently put the stove top back onto the stove’s frame.

Other Areas

• Before pushing the stove back to the wall, check the floor and sides of the stove for water. Use a flashlight to check behind the stove. If water is behind the stove, use a dry mop to remove it. Push the stove back to the wall. Check inside the oven for water and wipe it up with a dry rag.
