Jenn Air Wall oven is producing a burning smell

If your Jenn Air wall oven has a burning smell, stop using it until you identify the source, especially if the odor is electrical or accompanied by smoke. The most likely causes are a defective temperature control thermostat, which can affect broiler operation and cause abnormal heating, followed by a failed control board or main control board that is not sending voltage correctly to the heating components. A damaged bake element or broil element can also produce an oven burning smell. Inspect both elements for holes, blisters, or areas that do not glow red during operation, and use a multimeter to test for continuity before replacing one. For an electrical burning smell from your wall oven, check the terminal block and power cord connections for loose, burnt, or melted wiring. Do not operate the oven if these connections are damaged, and have electrical repairs handled by a qualified technician when needed. These Jenn Air wall oven parts can be replaced with the right diagnosis. Enter your model number to find the exact thermostat, control board, bake element, broil element, or terminal block for your specific wall oven.

06 - Jenn Air 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.
