Jenn Air Range is producing a burning smell

A burning smell from your Jenn Air range can indicate a failing temperature control thermostat, control board, main control board, oven control board, bake element, or broil element. Start with the temperature control thermostat, which regulates broiler temperature and may fail in a way that causes abnormal heating. Next, inspect the control board, main control board, and oven control board. Their relays send voltage to the bake and broil circuits, and a defective board may send power incorrectly or fail to control the heating components, creating an electrical burning smell from the stove. If your Jenn Air range has a range burning smell during baking or broiling, examine the bake element and broil element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage. A shorted element can burn against the oven interior. With power disconnected, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity and check for a short between its terminals and outer case. Replace any failed part, and do not operate the range if wiring or components are smoking. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Jenn Air range.
