Jenn Air Oven burning food

When your Jenn Air oven is burning food, the bake element is the most likely cause, followed by the broil element. A damaged element can overheat or heat unevenly, so inspect both for holes or blisters and check each one for continuity with a multimeter. If either element does not heat correctly or lacks continuity, replace it. A defective oven control board is another common cause because its relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on your settings and sensor input. The temperature control thermostat can also cause an oven temperature problem if it fails to regulate broiler temperature, and it must be replaced if defective. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may fail to send voltage to the heating components. These problems can make your oven run hot, cause food to burn easily, or leave your oven cooking too hot. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and enter your Jenn Air oven's model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Jenn Air 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.
