Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130806-E58F7-2147453355. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Weber Spirit (Weber Spirit Grill serial number is NT6389613.). Incident: While cooking on a Weber Spirit grill it caught on fire and burned up the lines to the control panel on the right side and melted the control knobs. The only way to stop it was to turn off the propane tank, which luckily I was able to do. The grill is at least 4 to 5 years old but we have always taken care of it and cleaned it. I would like to re-build it with new parts but have not found replacement parts online.
