Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If heavy smoke appears, switch off the oven and ventilate the room. Do not leave the oven unattended.
- Inspect cavity: Once cool, check for food or grease on elements and cavity surfaces. Clean with appropriate oven cleaner (avoid spraying directly on elements or sensors).
- Check elements and wiring: Remove rear and top covers to inspect for signs of burning on elements or wiring.
- Test on low heat: After cleaning, run the oven empty at a moderate temperature to burn off residues while monitoring for smells.
If burning smell persists and no residue is visible, internal components may be overheating and should be inspected by a technician.
