Tappan Oven burning food

When your Tappan oven is burning food, the oven may be heating unevenly or running too hot. Start with the bake element, the most likely cause listed for this symptom. A damaged bake element may have holes or blisters, or it may fail to glow red during operation. Turn off power and use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If it has no continuity, replace it. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and test it for continuity if it does not glow red. A faulty control board can also send incorrect voltage to the bake and broil circuits, causing the oven to cook too hot or food to burn easily. The temperature control thermostat is another possibility because it regulates broiler temperature and must be replaced if defective. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may have failed relays that do not properly control the heating components. These checks can help pinpoint why your oven runs hot instead of replacing parts at random. Enter your Tappan oven model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your appliance.

01 - Tappan 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.
