Oven burning food

If your oven is burning food, cooking too hot, or making food burn easily, start by checking the bake element. A bake element that is damaged or heating unevenly can create excessive heat in one area, so look for holes or blisters and test it for continuity with a multimeter. Next, inspect the broil element, which can also cause an oven temperature problem if it is damaged or remains energized when it should not. If both elements appear normal, a faulty oven control board may be sending voltage to the bake or broil circuit at the wrong time. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause because it regulates oven temperature and must be replaced if defective. Depending on your range or oven design, the main control board or oven control board may also have failed relays that keep the heating components on too long. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your specific range, stove, or oven.

01 - Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
