Litton Oven burning food

When your Litton oven is burning food, cooking too hot, or making food burn easily, inspect the bake element first. A damaged bake element may have holes or blisters, or it may fail to glow red when heating. Test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it has no continuity. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity, since a failed element can affect oven heating. If both elements test correctly, the Litton oven control board is the next likely cause. Its relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits, and a defective board may send incorrect voltage or fail to respond properly to sensor input. A faulty temperature control thermostat can also cause the oven to run hot because it regulates broiler temperature and must be replaced if defective. Less common causes include the main control board and oven control board. Before ordering, enter your Litton range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance. Use the model-specific results to match the correct bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board.

01 - Litton 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.
