SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260727-42919-2147313313. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LG LSEL6330FE (Manufacturer: LG Electronics Product: Electric range Model number: LSEL6330FE Serial number: 602MMFU0H763).

Fortunately, we were able to extinguish the fire before it spread, but there was damage and this could have resulted in a serious house fire. My concern is that the burner controls appear susceptible to unintended activation. Within four days, three different people accidentally bumped the same front-right burner knob and turned it on unintentionally. One of those accidental activations resulted in a fire. I understand this model is not currently included in a recall. However, after experiencing an actual fire and multiple accidental activations, I believe this presents a potential safety hazard that should be investigated. The range did not have the optional plastic knob locks installed when I purchased the home. However, my concern is not simply the absence of the locksit is that ordinary contact with the knob can move the burner from OFF to HIGH without intentional operation. A safety feature that depends entirely on consumers installing additional locks may not adequately address the risk of accidental activation. I am requesting that CPSC inve
