Oven emits burning smell or smoke during normal cooking (not first use or after spill)

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.
