The night before Thanksgiving our slide in electric GE profile range tried to kill us.
We've sold the last of the extra houses and have been moving things over to here. The houses are back to back so short trips. We came in from the 3rd trip to loud beeping and smoke.
The broiler element was on, the stove was glowing and the house was filled with smoke. I pushed the off/cancel and it stopped BUT before I could turn my head, click, it was back on. I had to shut off the breaker to stop the runaway. Opened all the windows and the oven door, hoping it would not ignite.
Let it cool to the touch and switched the breaker on to try to find out what happened. By the time I got from the garage to the kitchen the broiler was on again. Turned it off, click, back on.
Had we been going any longer the house would have caught fire.
I cooked Thanksgiving dinner on a small electric griddle and we were very thankful to be able to do that.
One of the more Spartan and memorable Thanksgiving meals we've had.
