Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20110701-C4496-2147477659. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Kenmore 790.92303010. Source model text: 790.41023801. Incident: My Kenmore Elite Electric Range Slide-in model (Model No. 790.41023801 & Serial No. NF94819026) had an electrical fire inside of it appproximately 20-25 minutes after it was turned off. The fire was contained and remained inside the oven b/c we were at home and present when there was a popping noise and we smelled the electrical fire. We turned the breaker off and the fire ceased. However, black smoke billowed out of it for about 3 minutes. There was no damage to anything other than the range. It is worth noting that this is a lemon replacement from Sears and the first Kenmore Elite Electric Slide-in (a model No. 790.4670) that we had was tripping the breaker and burned the motherboard on the back of the range.
