We smelled smoke and a heard a beeping and rushed to see what was wrong. The oven door was closed but the broiler had come on and was red hot.The display showed "F13". We pushed the STOP button but nothing happened. We read the instructions book and pushed every button several times to no avail. Finally we shut off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes as directed in the book and reset it. We reset the clock but the broiler and bake function did not work and showed a "dr" code. The cook top burners did work.
