JC Penney Oven burning food

If your JC Penney oven is burning food, the oven may be running too hot or failing to regulate heat correctly. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause listed for this symptom. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters, or one that fails a multimeter continuity test, should be replaced. Next, inspect the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a broil element that stays energized can make food burn easily. If both elements check out, the oven control board may have a failed relay that sends constant or incorrect voltage to the heating circuits. The temperature control thermostat is another possibility because it regulates broiler temperature and may need replacement if it is defective. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have relay or sensor-input problems that cause the oven to cook too hot. Always disconnect power before testing parts. Enter your JC Penney range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - JC Penney 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.
