Ikea Oven burning food

If your IKEA oven is burning food, cooks too hot, or seems to run hot, inspect the bake element first. A damaged bake element can create uneven heating and hot spots, so look for holes or blisters and check it for continuity with a multimeter. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and continuity. A failed bake or broil element may not glow red when heating. If both elements test properly, the control board may have a problem. Its relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on your settings and sensor input, and a defective control board can send incorrect voltage to the heating components. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause of an oven temperature problem. If it fails, it may not regulate the broiler temperature correctly and must be replaced rather than repaired. A faulty main control board or oven control board can cause the same heating issue. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your IKEA oven's model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, main control board, or oven control board for your specific range, stove, or oven.

01 - Ikea 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.

03 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.
