How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If smoke is heavy, turn off the oven and ventilate the area. Do not leave the oven unattended.

  • Inspect interior: Once cool, check for spilled food or grease on the bottom, walls, and elements. Clean with a suitable oven cleaner.
  • Check elements and wiring: Look for hot spots or burning on elements and nearby wiring.
  • Test on low temperature: Run the oven empty at a low temperature and observe for smoke or smell to isolate the source.

If the smell is electrical or you see sparking, disconnect power and have the wiring and components inspected by a technician.
