My Kenmore Elite 1200 watt model 721.6339011 has started producing an awful
odor.
It's like burning hair. Thorough cleaning has not solved this problem.
What do you suggest?

been trapped inside and might explain the burning hair smell.

I had a customer years ago complain for weeks about an awful smell in his
kitchen. For some reason I had to pull the wall oven out and there was the
carcass of a rat hanging on one of the wires in the back.


Maybe but I don't think he ever told us if this is a built in or on
the counter which may make a difference in this case. I tend tho to
lean on the electrical burning but with so limited info, it's really
nothing more than a guess. I do think that it's not worth fixing if
it's more than 5 years old unless he's doing the repair himself.
