Hardwick Range is producing a burning smell

When your Hardwick range is producing a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source. A burning smell from the oven or range burning smell can come from a defective temperature control thermostat, which regulates broiler temperature and may prevent the broil element from operating correctly. Next, check the 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 cause an electrical burning smell from the stove or keep a heating circuit from working properly. Inspect the bake element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, then test it with a multimeter for continuity. A shorted bake element usually needs replacement. Also inspect the broil element for holes or blisters and test for continuity between its terminals and outer case. Continuity to the case indicates a short and means the broil element should be replaced. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Hardwick range model number to find the exact thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your appliance.

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.
