Sunray Oven burning food

When your Sunray oven is burning food, the oven may be running too hot or heating incorrectly. The bake element is the most likely cause. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters may not heat evenly, so inspect it for visible damage and test it for continuity with a multimeter. Next, check the broil element, which can also burn out or fail to regulate heat properly. If both elements appear intact, a defective control board may be sending voltage to the bake or broil circuits at the wrong time. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause of an oven temperature problem, especially if the oven cooks too hot or food burns easily. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have faulty relays that incorrectly control the heating components. Always disconnect power before testing or removing parts. Whether your Sunray oven is burning food, runs hot, or has another oven temperature problem, enter your model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your range, stove, or oven.

01 - Sunray 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.
