Americana Range is producing a burning smell

When your Americana range has a burning smell, especially an electrical burning smell from the stove or oven, stop using it until you identify the source. The most likely cause is a defective temperature control thermostat, which regulates broiler temperature and may fail to control the broil element 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 energize a heating circuit improperly or cause overheating. A shorted bake element is another common cause of a burning smell from the oven. Inspect it for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, then test it for continuity with a multimeter. Finally, inspect the broil element for damage and test for continuity between its terminals and outer case. Continuity to the case indicates a short, so replace the element. Always disconnect power before testing electrical parts. Enter your Americana range model number to find the exact replacement 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.
