Frigidaire Range is producing a burning smell

If your Frigidaire range has a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source and disconnect power if you notice smoke or an electrical burning smell from the stove. The most likely cause is a defective temperature control thermostat, which can affect broiler operation and create excess heat. Next, check the 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 overheat or short. A damaged bake element is another common cause of an oven burning smell. Look for holes, blisters, or visible damage, then test the element for continuity with a multimeter. A shorted broil element can cause the same range burning smell, so inspect it and test for continuity between its terminals and outer case. These checks can help diagnose why your Frigidaire range is producing a burning smell. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your specific range.

05 - Frigidaire Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

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.
