Incident: My carbon Monoxide dector began to alarm so the fire department was sent to my home by my [REDACTED] service representative said firemen detected a reading of 28 and began a search to find the source and discovered that the element(s) on my Whirlpool Gold Series double oven gas range was the source stating that the elements were the reason and promptly disconnected the stove from the gas line At the time of the incident I has just finished making some jam and both the front burners were being used one element to cook the fruit and the other to heat the water for processing. The alarm sounding prevented what could have been a contrastrophy from happenine. I could have lost my life had that alarm not alerted me to an issue.
