Inglis Range is producing a burning smell

If your Inglis range has a burning smell, unplug it or switch off the circuit breaker before inspecting it, especially if the odor smells electrical. The most likely cause is a defective temperature control thermostat, which regulates broiler temperature and may need replacement if it is not operating correctly. 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 cause electrical burning or prevent the heating components from operating properly. A shorted bake element is another common cause of a burning smell from the oven. Look for holes, blisters, or visible damage, then use a multimeter to test continuity. Inspect the broil element as well, checking for damage and testing for continuity from the terminals to the outer case. Replace any element that is open or shorted. Whether your range is producing a burning smell or showing other oven problems, enter your Inglis range model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your appliance.

01 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat

The temperature control thermostat regulates the broiler temperature. If the thermostat is defective, it may fail to heat the broiler element. The oven thermostat is not repairable—if the thermostat is defective, you must replace it.

02 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
Highly Likely

03 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
Highly Likely

04 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.
Highly Likely

05 - Inglis 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.
Highly Likely

06 - Inglis Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element

If the broil element is shorted out. Often, if the element has shorted out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element is shorted out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element shows continuity from the terminals to the outer case, this indicates that it is shorted out. If the broil element is shorted out, replace it.
Highly Likely
