How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you see flames or heavy smoke, turn off the oven and breaker immediately and ventilate the area.

  • Visual inspection: After cooling, inspect the cavity, elements, and drip trays for burnt-on food or grease. Clean thoroughly with oven-safe cleaners.
  • Check wiring: Remove rear and top covers and look for discolored or melted wiring, especially near elements and fans. Repair or replace as needed.
  • Test run: Run the oven empty at a moderate temperature for 15–20 minutes and monitor for smells. If an electrical burning smell persists, disconnect power and have the oven inspected professionally.
