Incident: I turned on the top oven broiler to the temperature of 400. I rarely use this as a broiler. I was letting it warm up when I heard a popping sound. I looked at the oven and saw a fire and sparks. I turn the oven off. When it cooled down I saw that the broiler coil had broken into pieces. The oven was empty at the time.
