Incident Details
  • Incident Description: Hotpoint B317B6641P001 electric gas range with smooth surface. I turned off the burner; the light is out indicating the burner is off however, the burner continued to be on. The smoke alarm was triggered by the burnt pot. Thanks that we were in the house. It happened again about 3 times now; I turned it off but burner continued to burn; I am just taking the pot off the burner and turn the knob until it completely turned off. My concern is my teenage granddaughter will live with me. I have instructed her about it not turning off as expected however, danger is always there.
