SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20231216-1357A-2147343394. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Jenn Air JDS1750FS (Jenn Air Dual-Fuel (electric oven, gas stove top) range, stainless steel, 30'' width). Incident: We had cooked soup on our stovetop, then had eaten dinner, and were pouring leftover soup into jars (long after cooking, so stove was not hot). Some soup -- perhaps 8 oz. -- spilled onto stovetop, moisture quickly leaked into the stove's electronic control unit inside the stove, and started an electrical fire there -- we could hear sizzling & popping sounds, and smell melting plastic and smoke. We immediately cut power (at the circuit breaker) to the stove's elecrical circuit, and the fire went out. The next day, we removed part of the stove's front cover to let the moisture dry. 36 hours after the spill, we restored power to the stove, but an electrical fire immediately started -- flames leapt out of the open cover of the stove. Accordingly, we immediately again cut power to the stove's circuit. This stovetop's poor design enabled a routine occurrence -- spilling a modest amount of liquid onto the stovetop -- to start an electrical fire within the stove. A web search showed that a similar incident had occurred with a similar stove from the same manufacturer.
