My Kennmore 79363 Gas Range/ Electric Oven electrical doesn't work. Started smelling electrical burning smell, tracked to oven. shut off breaker, smell stoped. Few hours later checked again after turning breaker back on, burning smell returned again, then all electrical on unit quit working. Gas range still works but electrical started also stopped working. Have to light with lighter each time.

SOURCE: oven quit working

Hi. this is common in many old gas range ovens. There is a set of coils that are attached to the gas valve assembly. These coils , when activated and operational, open and close the main and secondary valves in this unit. They are controlled by the main ERC(clock/oven control board). I recommend checking these coils and there respective wiring harnesses. if the clips and wires are worn and corroded, simply replace the entire wire harness.

Now, if the wiring harness and wires that are connected to the coils look good and there are no signs of corrosion on the wires and connector clips, this will confirm that the coils have failed and you will need to replace them.

You can also preform an additional test with a multimeter. simply connect your multimeter or voltage meter to both terminal posts located on the coils. once your meter is connected, start the oven cycle. you should register some sort of current during this test at this time. if the current is sufficient and the coils do not initiated the valve action, this will confirm coil failure. if the meter dosen't register a current during oven operation, this will confirm ERC(control) failure. you will have to replace the Oven control board in this case.

The Most common issue in this situation will most defiantly be the coil assembly and not the control.

Please rate and god bless:)

SOURCE: My electric range is tripping the circuit breaker

unplug the unit and see if maybe you have a problem in the breaker/supply line from the house panel, otherwise does it work fine?,there also may be a bare or shorted wire in the unit itself

Looks like you have a runaway temperature problem.
I will guess that the oven is electric and the top burners are gas, as it is with most dual fuels.
Like like an oven sensor or board problem. The quickest way to find out what the error codes mean is to Google it. Then re-post your question for a more specific answer.
The error codes should also be in your customer user manual.

EW30EW65SS Stainless Steel smells like burning electrical

Hello purrpplee - If the smell is coming out of the oven vent, more than likely it is something inside the oven that is creating the odor. Also, keep in mind that new cooking products can create a burning electrical odor when the bake and broil cycles are used as any residual coating or film on the oven liner and elements burns off. However, if odor increases consult a professional for an accurate diagnosis.

Hello Cheryl Davis...

Your posting came in UNDER A DUAL FUEL

ELECTRIC - GAS combination...

If you are smelling gas... you are in immediate DANGER.

PLEASE turn OFF the gas at the wall...

The gas is not only toxic it is highly EXPLOSIVE ...

Do not experiment with your health & safety...!!

GAS appliances are very dangerous...
A single HOT-SURFACE ignition failure
should have caused the GAS to not flow...

If it is flowing ... you are in EXTREME DANGER.

MIcrowave emits an electrical smell while cooking. It still cooks, but has started emitting an odor recently when in use.

Is the smell ionized (the outside smell of a cold winter morning air) or more of an electronic component burning??? if it's more of an ionized smell it could be normal, (if the smell is strong) it could be a leaking high voltage cable (electric arching) bad insulator, if it's more of an electronic component burning smell, it could be a overheating component, in both cases you should have it checked by a professional technician...

Cheers!

Kitchenaid selectra oven range: Electrical smell

If this is a new range the odor is coming from the binder used to install the insulation in the range. You would need to put it through a self clean cycle of at least four hours to burn off this binder. I would suggest that you do it on a nice day when you are staying home and can open the windows as it will smell quite horrid for a while.

GE Profile Spectra XL 44 gas oven

If you can smell the gas when you turn on the oven, it may be on a separate igniter that has gone bad. I would check this first. If you are not getting gas to the oven, there is possibly an issue with the supply line.
