Thermador Oven burning food

If your Thermador oven is burning food, cooks too hot, or food burns easily, start by checking the bake element. A bake element with holes, blisters, or no red glow may be damaged and can affect how the oven heats. Test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. Next, inspect the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a failed broil element can contribute to an oven temperature problem. If both elements are working, the oven control board is the next likely cause. Its relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on your settings and sensor input, so a defective board may send incorrect power to the heating components. A faulty temperature control thermostat can also cause the oven to run hot, and the thermostat must be replaced rather than repaired. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may be defective. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Thermador oven model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your range.

01 - Thermador 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.
