SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190413-4D9CB-2147381634. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire FEC30S6ABF (30" 4 element ceramic glass induction cooktop). Incident: Frigidaire Cooktop Model FEC30S6ABF Serial NF74823198. During normal operation, the front main element stopped cycling and remained on. The unit failed to turn off when placing the heat control dial to the off position. If the element does not cycle it emits very high temperature that would likely in a matter minutes could cause any thing on the cooktop to catch fire and longer exposure could cause the cooktop to become brittle or internal component begin to melt causing fire hazard or an electrical short with same result. The circuit breaker had to be used to turn the unit off as stated the dial control no longer was in any control of the element. Subsequent attempts to use one of the other 3 elements of cooktop was also not an option. When engaging one of the other elements, which seemed to function correctly, also powered the main front element as well and was stuck on high without being able to turn off once engaged. The internal circuitry is done poorly in my opinion. Parts fail eventually, knowing that the limiters will fail and the hazard of one element staying on all the time should dictate internal wiring precluding turning on one element from physically allowing any other elements to be powered as a simple safety precaution. If all 4 elements were to engage without cycling, the risk of fire I think would almost be certain. There is a recall for similar cooktop types as my model made by Electrolux(Frigidaire) during the same time frame mine was manufactured for a very similar problem, but were not included in the recall. Obviously they should have expanded in my op
