Glenwood Cooktop is producing a burning smell

Is your Glenwood cooktop producing a burning smell? Stop using it and disconnect power before inspecting the components. An electrical burning smell from a stove or cooktop 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 wiring. If the smell is coming from one burner, the surface element switch may be failing, especially if the element does not heat correctly. A surface element board is another likely cause when two or more burners stop working or show signs of overheating. For a single burner problem, test the surface element for continuity with a multimeter. If the element tests good, inspect the element receptacle and wire kit for burned contacts, loose connections, or melted insulation. Also check the element prongs, since damaged prongs require replacing both the element and receptacle. Enter your Glenwood cooktop model number to find the exact replacement control board, surface element switch, surface element board, or receptacle kit for your appliance.

01 - Glenwood 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 - Glenwood 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 - Glenwood 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 - Glenwood 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.
