I was using my oven a little while ago, and heard this loud pop, and saw that the element was flashing white and burning in a spot. Turned the oven off, and it continued to burn. I went outside and turned it off with the circuit breaker and it immediately stopped burning. My question is, why did it continue to burn after the oven was off, but didn't stop until the circuit was turned off. Shouldn't the circuit breaker have tripped? I removed the element and there is no burn behind it or anything, but it puzzles me as to why it kept burning. TIA
