Electrolux Range is producing a burning smell

If your Electrolux range is producing a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source and inspect the oven safely. A defective temperature control thermostat is the most likely cause listed for this problem, especially if the smell occurs during broiling or the broiler is not heating correctly. Next, the oven control board, main control board, or oven control board may have a failed relay or electrical fault that affects the bake and broil circuits, causing an electrical burning smell from the stove. A shorted bake element or broil element can also create a burning smell from the oven. Look for holes, blisters, or visible damage, then use a multimeter to test the element for continuity and check for a short to the outer case. Replace a defective thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element rather than attempting to repair it. Disconnect power before testing or removing parts. Enter your Electrolux range model number to find the exact replacement part that fits your appliance.

05 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

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.
