Danby Oven burning food

When your Danby oven is burning food, the oven may be running hot or sending heat to the wrong element. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause listed for this problem. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters may heat unevenly or fail to regulate baking correctly. Check whether it glows red during operation and test it for continuity with a multimeter. Next, inspect the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a broil element that stays energized can make food burn. If both elements test good, the control board may have a failed relay that sends incorrect voltage to the bake or broil circuit. A defective temperature control thermostat can also cause an oven temperature problem by failing to regulate heat. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have relay or sensor-input problems that make your Danby oven cook too hot. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your Danby range, stove, or oven.

01 - Danby 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.
