LG Oven burning food

Is your LG oven burning food? Cooks too hot, or food burns easily, start by checking the bake element. A damaged bake element can heat incorrectly or fail to cycle as it should, so inspect it for holes or blisters and test it for continuity with a multimeter. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and continuity, since a failed broil element can affect how the LG oven heats and regulates temperature. If both elements test good, the oven control board is a likely cause. Its relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on your settings and sensor input, and a defective board may control those circuits incorrectly. The temperature control thermostat is another possibility, followed by the main control board or oven control board. These components can cause an oven temperature problem, including an oven that runs hot. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your LG oven model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your specific range, stove, or oven.

01 - LG 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.
