Crosley Oven burning food

When your Crosley oven is burning food, cooks too hot, or food burns easily, inspect the heating and control components before replacing the appliance. The bake element is the most likely cause. A damaged element can create uneven heat, so look for holes or blisters and check it for continuity with a multimeter after disconnecting power. Next, inspect the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity as well. If both elements appear sound, the control board may have a failed relay and may not send the correct voltage to the bake or broil circuit. A defective temperature control thermostat can also cause an oven temperature problem by failing to regulate broiler heat. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may be faulty. These boards use relays and sensor input to control the heating components, so a failure can make the oven run hot or heat unevenly. Before ordering, enter your Crosley range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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.
