Modern Maid Oven burning food

If your Modern Maid oven is burning food, the bake element is the most likely cause. A bake element that does not heat properly can create uneven temperatures and hot spots, while visible holes, blisters, or a lack of red glow indicate damage. Test the element for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. Next, check the broil element, which can also burn out and affect oven temperature and cooking performance. If both heating elements test good, the Modern Maid oven control board may have a failed relay and may not send voltage to the bake or broil circuit. A defective temperature control thermostat can also cause an oven that cooks too hot, although the thermostat is not repairable and must be replaced. Less common possibilities include the main control board or oven control board. These parts use relay outputs and sensor input to control heating. Before ordering an oven replacement part, enter your model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your Modern Maid range, stove, or oven.

01 - Modern Maid 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.
