Kelvinator Oven burning food

When your Kelvinator oven is burning food, the oven may be running hot or failing to control heat correctly. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters may heat unevenly, so inspect it for visible damage and test it for continuity with a multimeter. Next, check the broil element. If it does not glow red when heating, it may be burned out and could contribute to an oven temperature problem. A defective control board is another common cause because its relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on your settings and sensor input. The temperature control thermostat can also fail and cause the oven to cook too hot or food to burn easily. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may send incorrect voltage to the heating components. Disconnect power before testing or replacing electrical parts, and follow your model's service instructions. Enter your Kelvinator range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Kelvinator 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.
