Inglis Cooktop is producing a burning smell

If your Inglis cooktop is producing a burning smell, shut off the power and inspect the electrical components before using it again. An electrical burning smell from a stove most often points to a failing control board, main control board, or oven control board, whose relays send voltage to the surface element circuits and may overheat or stop regulating power correctly. Next, check the surface element switch, especially if one burner is affected. You can swap that surface element with another element of the same size. If the problem follows the element, the element is likely defective; if it remains with the burner position, replace the switch. A surface element board is another likely cause when two or more burners fail or show signs of overheating because its relays control power to the burners. Finally, inspect the element receptacle and wire kit for scorched contacts, melted insulation, or burned element prongs. Replace damaged mating parts together. Enter your Inglis cooktop model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.

01 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
