we've had this *very* old frigidaire stove for 15-20 years... it's the wide heating-element kind... lived with 3 of 4 working... this morning my wife kicked-on Left-Front to boil water, and the element *ignited* into flames, melted the steel cover... i've never heard of that happening! no warning... ya, the stove is now gone, replaced by a smaller element caloric... but ima very interested in how something like that could happen?
opinions?
