(WDEF) Appliance repair experts know oven problems can be a recipe for disaster... But they can be easily avoided. Dustin Wheeldon works as an Appliance Repair Expert. He said, "You don't have to overthink cleaning your oven. The more you do it on a regular basis, the less you have to do right before the holidays." If your oven has dials or switches don't spray cleaning fluid or water around them. Remove the knobs and soak them in the sink. And be sure to use caution when using the self-clean cycle. Wheeldon added, "If you haven't used the self-clean on your oven in five years, probably not. If you do regular upkeep and servicing the oven, using the self-clean every couple of months, then you'll probably be okay." If you don't use your oven regularly, now is the time to test it. Wheeldon said, "Find something that maybe isn't a turkey, but does have an extended bake time and see how close you are on the recommended time that it's supposed to be in there to see where you're at." Angie Hicks of Angie's List said, "One part of oven maintenance that people often overlook is checking to make sure their door seals tightly. If it doesn't, your oven is not going to be able to keep its correct temperature. If you find your door isn't sealing tight it's probably bent hinges or broken spring and those are easily repaired." While many repair companies do offer emergency services on holidays, be prepared to pay top dollar. As for the turkey that was locked in the oven, Wheeldon was able to free it. He said, "It's always good to come in there and be able to save somebody's holiday for them." Angie's List says while it may help keep it clean, you should avoid using aluminum foil under the bake element in your oven. Foil is very reflective and can alter the temperature of your oven. As a result, you can overcook or under cook food.

Even when youre not using electronics and appliances, they may still be sucking up energy and that can cost you hundreds of dollars each year.

The average American household spends between about $895 a year on electricity (in New Mexico, where it is least expensive) to $2,438 a year (in Hawaii, where it is most expensive), according to government data.

Whats more, roughly 10% of the average households energy bill is thanks to so-called vampire appliances items that suck up electricity even when families are not using them says Jeff Smith, a spokesman for utility company Pacific Gas and Electric.

That means a family who spends $2,000 on electricity each year would be wasting $200 (and sometimes far more, depending on what electronics they have in the home) simply by leaving certain items plugged in when theyre not using them. Vampire energy can cost your home hundreds of dollars each year, says Gene Wang, CEO of People Power. Adds Smith: This costs consumers more than $10 billion a year.

Here are some of the costliest and the most surprising vampire appliances that may be eating into your budget, according to PG&E.
