Norge Range is producing a burning smell

If your Norge range is producing a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source, especially if you notice an electrical burning smell from the stove. The most likely cause is a defective temperature control thermostat, which regulates broiler temperature and may malfunction around the heating circuit. Next, check the Norge 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 a range burning smell or keep voltage flowing where it should not. A shorted bake element is another common cause. Inspect the bake element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, then test it for continuity with a multimeter. The broil element can also short out and produce a burning smell from the oven. Test for continuity between its terminals and outer case, and replace it if shorted. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Norge range model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your appliance.
