An electric range is provided that may include a case that defines an external appearance of the electric range; at least one heater that heats an object; at least one upper bracket that is disposed under the at least one heater to support the at least one heater; and a support disposed under the at least one upper bracket. The support may include a mount on which a printed circuit board is mounted, and a boss portion that supports the at least one upper bracket.

An electric range is provided that may include a dedicated coil temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of a working coil so as to monitor the temperature of the working coil in real time and actively respond to a working coil load condition, thereby remarkably increasing an operation time of the electric range.

An electric range is provided, in which a portion of a bracket, which is configured to support at least one heating unit, is bent downward. More specifically, the at least one heating unit may be mounted in a specific region on the bracket, and a recessed portion which is downwardly formed may be formed in a portion of the specific region. Accordingly, an electric wire disposed between the at least one heating unit and the bracket may be accommodated or disposed in the recessed portion, so that interference between the electric wire disposed between the at least one heating unit and the bracket and the at least one heating unit may be prevented.

An electric range is provided that may include a case, and a support. The support may include a first region in which an air blower fan may be disposed, and a second region in which a printed circuit board may be disposed. A lower surface of the first region may be separated from the case.

An electric range is provided that may include a lower casing defining a lower portion of a case that is formed in two steps. In particular, the lower casing may include a first lower part; a second lower part recessed from an inside of the first lower part, and to which a bracket is coupled; and a third lower part that protrudes from at least a predetermined area of a portion of the first lower part.

A home appliance is provided in which electronic elements are attached to an outer surface of a heat sink, allowing air to directly contacting the electronic elements. More specifically, the electronic elements are attached to an outer slanted surface of the heat sink, an air guide is disposed to surround the heat sink to which the electronic elements are attached, and an air blowing fan is used to allow air to flow in the air guide, enabling the flowing air to directly contact the electronic elements.

An electric range is provided that may include a single base bracket configured to support and protect a control circuit board, thereby remarkably reducing a number of components in comparison to a conventional electric range.

An electric range may include a case, a cover plate coupled to an upper end of the case and on an upper surface of which an object to be heated is placed, a heat sink, an air blowing fan, wherein the air blowing fan is configured to discharge air toward the heat sink, and an air guide that communicates with the air blowing fan, surrounds the heat sink, and forms a flow path of air that cools the heat sink, wherein the air guide includes an side outlet formed in a portion at which the air guide communicates with the air blowing fan, and wherein the air guide is configured to discharge a portion of air flowing from the air blowing fan outward.

An electric range is provided that may include a case, a cover plate coupled to an upper side of the case and on which an object to be heated is placed, at least one heater that heats the object, the at least one heater being disposed under the cover plate, an upper bracket that is disposed under the at least one heater and supports the at least one heater, a base bracket disposed under the upper bracket and on which a printed circuit board is mounted, a heat sink mounted on the printed circuit board, an air blowing fan that is mounted on the base bracket and discharges air toward the heat sink through an outlet thereof, and an air guide that communicates with the air blowing fan, surrounds the heat sink, and forms a flow path of air cooling the heat sink.

An electric range and a method for controlling an electric range are provided, in which a plate temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of a cover plate and a thermal fuse configured to sense overheating of the cover plate are connected in series to configure a temperature sensing circuit, thereby simplifying a control substrate to which the temperature sensing circuit is electrically connected and reducing manufacture costs.
