Frigidaire Oven burning food

If your Frigidaire oven is burning food, the oven may be heating unevenly or receiving incorrect temperature control signals. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause listed for this problem. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters, or one that does not glow red during baking, can cause uneven cooking. Test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and continuity, since a faulty broil element can also affect oven heating. If both elements test good, the control board may not be sending voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on the user settings and sensor input. A defective temperature control thermostat can also cause a temperature problem, while the main control board or oven control board may have failed relays. These faults can make your Frigidaire oven cook too hot, burn food, or bake unevenly. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and use your model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your Frigidaire range, stove, or oven.

01 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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.
Common

05 - Frigidaire 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.
Common

06 - Frigidaire 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.
