Inglis Wall oven is producing a burning smell

If your Inglis wall oven has a burning smell, unplug it or switch off the circuit breaker before inspecting it, especially if you notice an electrical burning smell, smoke, or melted wiring. The most likely causes are a defective temperature control thermostat, which can prevent the broiler circuit from working correctly, followed by a faulty control board or main control board that fails to send voltage to the heating components. A burned-out bake element or broil element can also cause an oven burning smell. Look for holes, blisters, or other visible damage, then use a multimeter to check each element for continuity. If your Inglis wall oven is electric, inspect the terminal block and power cord connections for loose, overheated, or burned terminals. Damaged connections can melt wire insulation and require replacement of the terminal block, power cord, or both. These are common reasons an oven smells like it is burning, but the exact failure depends on the model. Enter your Inglis wall oven model number to find the exact replacement thermostat, control board, element, or terminal block for your appliance.

04 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
