How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven immediately and disconnect power. Ventilate the area.

  • Inspect cavity: Once cool, check for food, grease, or foil on or near the elements. Clean thoroughly with appropriate oven cleaner.
  • Check insulation and wiring: Remove rear and top panels. Ensure insulation is not resting on elements and wiring is not touching hot surfaces.
  • Look for burn marks: Identify any discolored or melted wires and replace them with high-temperature-rated cable.
  • Fan motor check: If the smell comes from the fan area and the motor is noisy or very hot, replace the fan motor.
