Garland Range is producing a burning smell

If your Garland range is producing a burning smell, unplug it or turn off the circuit breaker and let it cool before inspecting the oven. A defective temperature control thermostat is the most likely cause listed for this problem. The thermostat regulates broiler temperature, and it must be replaced if it fails. Next, check the Garland 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 or prevent the heating components from operating correctly. Inspect the bake element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, then use a multimeter to test it for continuity. A bake element that has shorted to the oven interior should be replaced. Also inspect the broil element for damage and test for continuity from each terminal to the outer case. Continuity to the case indicates a shorted broil element. These are common causes of a burning smell from the oven or range burning smell. Enter your Garland range model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.
