Electrolux Oven burning food

If your Electrolux oven is burning food, the oven cooks too hot, or food burns easily, inspect the heating and control parts before replacing the range. Start with the bake element, which should glow red when heating. Holes, blisters, or a failed continuity test indicate a damaged bake element that needs replacement. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and continuity, since a broil element that stays on or heats incorrectly can contribute to an oven that runs hot. A defective temperature control thermostat can also misread or fail to regulate broiler temperature and must be replaced if faulty. If both elements test good, the Electrolux range, stove, or oven control board may have a failed relay that sends voltage to the bake or broil circuits at the wrong time. The main control board and oven control board can cause the same problem. Always disconnect power before testing components, and use a multimeter only if you are comfortable doing so. Enter your model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your Electrolux oven.

01 - Electrolux 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.

02 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element

The broil element may have burned out. When the broil 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 element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element does not have continuity, replace it.

03 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.

04 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat

The temperature control thermostat regulates the broiler temperature. If the thermostat is defective, it may fail to heat the broiler element. The oven thermostat is not repairable—if the thermostat is defective, you must replace it.

05 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.

06 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
