Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20111021-CD470-2147474091. Matched catalog product: Maytag Maytag Gemini MGR6875ADS. Source model text: Maytag Gemini MGR6875ADB. Incident: About 1 year after we purchased the range, the safety valve was leaking and had to be replaced. A few weeks ago the electronic ignitions just started to go off and not stop until I unplugged the range. When I called Magtag I was told that if the burners were wet or out of place that could cause that to happen. I expressed my concerns if this happened and no one was home, what could happen! Well today, the ignitions did that again, they continued to keep clicking away. I was in the other room, by the time I got to the kitchen there was a puff of smoke from one of the burners and then then a fire surrounding the dials. This also blew the circuit breaker. This could have been disasterous if I were not home to put out the fire and unplug the range.
