Amana Oven burning food

When your Amana oven is burning food, cooks too hot, or food burns easily, start by checking the bake element. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters, or one that shorts internally and continues heating even when the oven cycles off. Test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if the circuit is open. Next, inspect the broil element, since a burned-out broil element can affect oven heating and temperature performance. If both elements test good, the control board may not be sending the correct voltage to the bake and broil circuits. A faulty temperature control thermostat can also cause the oven to run hot or regulate heat incorrectly. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have defective relays that misread sensor input or keep power flowing to a heating component. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Amana range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Amana 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.
