Ikea Cooktop is producing a burning smell

If your IKEA cooktop is producing a burning smell, turn off the cooktop and disconnect power before inspecting it. An electrical burning smell from a stove often points to a failed control board, main control board, or oven control board. These boards use relays to send voltage to the surface element circuits, and a defective relay can overheat or damage connected components. Next, check the surface element switch, especially if one burner is affected. If your IKEA cooktop has another element of the same size, swap the elements. If the problem follows the switch or the original element still does not work, replace the surface element switch, which cannot be repaired. A surface element board is also likely when two or more burners fail or show signs of overheating. If only one surface element is affected, test the element for continuity before condemning the board. Finally, inspect the element receptacle and wire kit for burnt contacts, loose connections, or damaged element prongs. Replace both parts if the prongs and receptacle are burned. Enter your IKEA cooktop model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.

01 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.

05 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.
