Tappan Range is producing a burning smell

Is your Tappan range producing a burning smell? Stop using it until you identify the source, especially if the odor smells electrical or comes with visible damage. The temperature control thermostat is the top solution because it regulates broiler temperature, and a defective thermostat can prevent the broil circuit from operating correctly. Next, inspect the Tappan range control board, main control board, or oven control board. These boards use relays to send voltage to the bake and broil circuits, so a failed relay can damage or improperly power a heating component. A shorted bake element is another likely cause of a burning smell from the oven. Look for holes, blisters, or other damage, then use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. Check the broil element as well, including for continuity between its terminals and outer case, which indicates a short. These faults can cause an electrical burning smell from your range and may require replacing the defective part. Enter your Tappan range model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, or broil element for your appliance.

05 - Tappan 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.
