Hotpoint Oven burning food

Is your Hotpoint oven burning food? The oven may be running too hot or heating unevenly. Start by inspecting the bake element, the most likely cause. 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 the same way. If both elements appear functional, a defective control board may be sending voltage to the heating circuits at the wrong time or failing to respond correctly to temperature settings. The temperature control thermostat is another possible cause of an oven temperature problem and may need replacement because it is not repairable. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board can cause a Hotpoint oven to cook too hot, making food burn easily. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and let the oven cool completely. Enter your model number to find the exact bake element, broil element, thermostat, or control board for your Hotpoint range, stove, or oven.

01 - Hotpoint 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.
