Hey /diy/ my oven is absolute shit. Preheating takes an age and

It's called energy efficiency. Swap it to some old clunker with more powerful heating elements.

And once the stuff cures with the door shut... how is he gonna get it open again?

one of your elements is burned out and you're limping along at half power.
might be one element at either side, or one top and one bottom element. simply replace the one that doesn't get glowing hot.

measure the resistance of the elements to see which are bad, it should be high resistance. if its open or low resistance simply replace it.

ovens aren't supposed to be completely sealed, gasses expand when heated and if they couldn't vent to equalize pressure you would end up with a giant pipe bomb, that's why all ovens have a vent,(gas and electric) i can't tell you where your vent is, but the few stoves i've owned it could vent up through a burner (electric), or vent out from under the control panel (gas and electric). also you would know if you had mice, your oven would stick to high heaven when its heated.

if its electric and your american, chances are its 220v. if you rent, check to see if the breaker box isn't nigger rigged and instead of having 1 220v breaker its just 2 120v above and bellow each other. if it is nigger rigged with 2 120v breakers make sure one breaker isn't tripped. if not its probably a bad element.

i was an appliance repair man, you would be surprised at the shit i've seen. 220v on nema 5-15p and 110v on dryer lines.
