Electrolux Wall oven is producing a burning smell

When your Electrolux wall oven has a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source. An oven burning smell can come from a failing temperature control thermostat, which regulates broiler temperature and may prevent the broil element from heating correctly. Next, check the control board and main control board. Their relays send voltage to the heating components, and a failed relay can overheat or leave the oven with an electrical burning smell. Inspect the bake element and broil element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage. A properly operating element glows red hot, and you can use a multimeter to test each element for continuity. On an electric Electrolux wall oven, also inspect the terminal block and power cord connections. Loose or damaged connections can overheat, melt wire insulation, and burn the terminal block. Turn off power before inspecting or testing parts, and have a licensed electrician check damaged wiring, the receptacle, or power cord connections. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, main control board, element, or terminal block for your Electrolux wall oven.

04 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Terminal Block

If the power cord connections in the terminal block on your electric range are not secure the wire can overheat, burning the connections on the terminal block, and melting the coating on the wires. Check to ensure the connections are tight and not burnt. If the terminal block connectors are burnt, the terminal block should be replaced. If the power cord terminal connectors are burnt or damaged, the power cord should be replaced. If the power cord prongs are burnt, a new power cord should be installed and the receptacle checked and replaced if necessary by a licenced electrician.
