Americana Oven burning food

Is your Americana oven burning food? The oven may be running hot or the heating system may not be regulating temperature correctly. Start by inspecting the bake element, the most likely cause listed for this problem. A damaged bake element with holes or blisters, or one that does not glow red during baking, may need replacement. Test it for continuity with a multimeter before ordering a part. Next, check the broil element for visible damage and verify that it heats and has continuity. If both elements appear to work, the control board may be sending incorrect voltage to the bake and broil circuits based on faulty relay operation or sensor input. A defective temperature control thermostat can also cause an oven temperature problem and may prevent the oven from regulating heat properly. Less commonly, the main control board or oven control board may be defective. These parts are not interchangeable without checking compatibility, so enter your Americana range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance. Proper testing can help determine why your oven cooks too hot, food burns easily, or the oven runs hot.

01 - Americana 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.
