I have a Jenn-Air electric double wall oven. One of the ovens squeaks

Anyone know what lubricant would be appropriate for this application?

Thanks,

Get a can of silicone spray lubricant, preferably on which comes with a
thin plastic tube which can be stuck into the spray cap hole. Try
squirting a few quick puffs in various directions at any visible hinges
and through the holes in the frame that the curved counterbalance arms
(if any) go through.

IME the squeeks are usually from the counterbalance spring loops rubbing
on whatever they are hooked over.

Anyway, silicone is inert and won't damage anything it gets sprayed onto.
