Gibson Oven burning food

When your Gibson oven is burning food, the bake element is the first part to check. A damaged bake element may have holes or blisters, or it may fail to glow red hot during a bake cycle. Turn off power and use a multimeter to test the element for continuity, replacing it if the test fails. Next, inspect the broil element, which can also burn out or fail to heat correctly. If both heating elements appear functional, the control board may have a failed relay and send incorrect voltage to the bake or broil circuits. A defective temperature control thermostat is another possible cause of an oven that cooks too hot or food that burns easily. The main control board and oven control board can also misread user settings or sensor input, causing an oven temperature problem. Before replacing a part, check the wiring and test the suspected component according to your model's service information. Enter your Gibson oven's model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your range, stove, or oven.

01 - Gibson 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.
