Magic Chef Oven burning food

When your Magic Chef oven is burning food, the oven may be running too hot because a heating component or control part is malfunctioning. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause. It should glow red during baking. Inspect it for holes or blisters, then use a multimeter to test for continuity. Replace the bake element if it does not have continuity. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and test it the same way. A failed broil element can contribute to an oven temperature problem. If both elements test good, the control board may have a failed relay and may not regulate voltage correctly. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause of an oven that cooks too hot or runs hot. This part is not repairable and must be replaced if defective. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may be unable to control the bake and broil circuits. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Magic Chef range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.

01 - Magic Chef 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.
