Amana Cooktop is producing a burning smell

If your Amana cooktop is producing a burning smell, especially an electrical burning smell from the stove, stop using it and inspect the power and heating circuits after the cooktop has cooled. The most likely cause is a defective control board, main control board, or oven control board. These boards use relays to send voltage to the surface elements, and a failing relay or overheated connection can create a burning smell. Next, check the surface element switch, which sends power to the element coil and may be damaged if the switch or wiring has overheated. A failed surface element board is also possible, particularly when two or more burners stop working at the same time. If only one burner is affected, test the surface element for continuity, then inspect the element receptacle and wire kit for burned contacts, melted insulation, or damaged element prongs. Replace the receptacle and element together if both show heat damage. These are common causes of a range burning smell or cooktop not working properly. Enter your Amana model number to find the exact replacement control board, surface element switch, surface element board, or element receptacle for your specific cooktop.

01 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The control board has relays that send voltage to the surface element circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components.

04 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch

The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. If the switch is defective, the surface element will not work. If there is another element of the same size on the stove, try switching the elements. If the surface element still doesn’t work, the surface element switch is likely defective. The surface element switch cannot be tested or repaired—if you suspect the switch is defective, replace it.

Highly Likely

05 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board

The surface element board has relays that regulate the power supply to the burners. If one or more of the relays fails, the surface element won’t work. If two or more burners fail at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element won’t work, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the surface element has continuity, the surface element board might be defective.

06 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Element Receptacle and Wire Kit

The surface element plugs onto a receptacle. Over time, the contacts in the receptacle can burn out. If the receptacle contacts burn out, the surface element will not receive power. To determine if the element receptacle has failed, inspect the receptacle contacts. If the contacts are visibly burnt or damaged, replace the element receptacle. In addition, examine the element prongs for signs of burning. If the prongs are burnt, replace both the element and element receptacle.
