Gaggenau Range is producing a burning smell

Is your Gaggenau range producing a burning smell? Stop using it until you identify the source. The temperature control thermostat is the most likely cause listed for this problem, especially if the smell occurs during broil. A defective thermostat can interfere with broiler operation and should be replaced rather than repaired. Next, check the Gaggenau 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 cause electrical overheating or prevent the heating components from operating correctly. A shorted bake element is another common cause of a burning smell from the oven. Look for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, then use a multimeter to test the bake element for continuity. Finally, inspect the broil element for holes or blisters and test it for a short between its terminals and outer case. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your Gaggenau range.

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.
