Possible Causes

Heavy grease buildup on cavity surfaces, Food spillage on elements, Melted plastic or foil on elements, Overheating wiring or connectors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If smoke is heavy or you suspect electrical burning, switch off the power immediately.

  • Inspect cavity: Once cool, remove shelves and trays. Check for burnt-on food or grease near the elements and clean with an appropriate oven cleaner (avoid spraying directly on elements or sensors).
  • Check elements: Look for melted plastic, foil, or other materials on the elements. Carefully remove debris without damaging the element surface.
  • Inspect wiring: Remove the rear cover and check for burnt insulation or connectors. Replace any damaged wiring and connectors.
  • Test under supervision: Run the oven empty at a moderate temperature for 15–20 minutes with good ventilation to burn off remaining residues.
