Amana Range is producing a burning smell

If your Amana range is producing a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source and let the appliance cool completely. A defective temperature control thermostat is the most likely cause listed for this symptom. The thermostat regulates broiler temperature, and a failed thermostat may affect the heating circuit. Next, check the Amana range control board, main control board, or oven control board. These boards use relays to send voltage to the bake and broil circuits, and a failed relay can create an electrical burning smell from the stove or prevent the heating components from operating correctly. Inspect the bake element for holes, blisters, or signs that it has shorted against the oven interior. Test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. Then inspect the broil element for visible damage and test for a short between the terminals and outer case. These are common sources of a burning smell from the oven. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Amana range model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your appliance.

Sometimes, if the heating element burns out, it can short out to the inside of the oven. Often, if the bake element has shorted out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has shorted out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
