Hardwick Wall oven is producing a burning smell

A burning smell from your Hardwick wall oven usually points to a failed temperature control thermostat, control board, or heating component. Start by unplugging the wall oven or switching off its circuit breaker, especially if you notice an electrical burning smell from the oven, smoke, melted wiring, or scorched connections. The thermostat regulates broiler temperature and can fail to control the broil element correctly, so it may need replacement. Next, inspect the control board and main control board, which use relays to send voltage to the heating circuits. A defective board can send power improperly or prevent the heating components from operating. Check the bake element and broil element for holes, blisters, or other visible damage. A working element should glow red hot, and a multimeter continuity test can confirm whether a burned-out element needs replacement. Finally, inspect the terminal block and power cord connections for loose, overheated, or melted wires. Enter your Hardwick wall oven's model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, bake element, broil element, or terminal block for your appliance.

04 - Hardwick 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 - Hardwick 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.
