Hardwick Oven burning food

When your Hardwick oven is burning food, the oven may be running hot or heating unevenly. The most likely cause is a faulty bake element. A properly working bake element glows red during operation, while holes, blisters, visible damage, or a failed continuity test indicate it should be replaced. Next, check the broil element, which should also glow red when heating. A defective broil element can affect oven temperature and cause food to burn easily. If both elements test good, the control board may not be regulating voltage correctly through its relays. The temperature control thermostat is another possibility because it regulates broiler temperature and must be replaced if defective. A failed main control board or oven control board can also send incorrect voltage to the bake and broil circuits. Before replacing a part, disconnect power and use a multimeter only if you are comfortable testing live-appliance components. Enter your Hardwick range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Hardwick 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.
