Caloric Oven burning food

If your Caloric oven is burning food, the oven may be running too hot or its heating components may not be cycling correctly. Start with the bake element, which should glow red during baking. Inspect it for holes or blisters, then test it for continuity with a multimeter. A damaged or open bake element is the most likely cause of an oven that cooks too hot or burns food easily. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a broil element that stays energized can create an oven temperature problem. If both elements test properly, a defective oven control board may be sending voltage to the bake or broil circuits at the wrong time. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause because it regulates broiler temperature and may need replacement if it fails. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have faulty relays. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Caloric range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Caloric 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.
