Dacor Oven burning food

If your Dacor oven is burning food, the oven may be running too hot or the bake and broil circuits may not be regulating heat correctly. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters, or one that shorts internally and continues heating even when the oven cycles off; test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if the circuit is open. Next, inspect the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a broil element that stays energized can make the oven cook too hot. If both elements test good, a defective control board may be sending voltage to the heating circuits at the wrong time. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause of an oven temperature problem and must be replaced if it fails. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have defective relays that do not respond correctly to temperature settings or sensor input. Before ordering a part, enter your Dacor range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement for your appliance.

01 - Dacor 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.
