Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260920-1CF27-2147309568. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LG LREL6325F 01 (This is an LG household electric range Model # LREL6325F/01 Product Code: LREL6325F . FR1LLGA Serial number: 404MMUM08782. It is black, a standard size electric range, with a blue interior oven. The electric ceramic stove top is black and is NOT induction.). Incident: My ceramic stove top overheated when it was on Low. It became bright red and glowed hotter than it glows on it's highest setting. It's an LG Electric Range Model LREL6325F /01 Product Code: LREL6325F . FR1LLGA Serial # 404MMUM08782. It was being used by me an 33 yo experienced home cook on Wed Sept 16, 2026 at [REDACTED] pm. The stove was being used to boil peas. I brought the peas to a boil, and then turned it down to low. Instead of cooling off, the burner proceeded to get hotter and hotter, until I turned it off. No injuries occured, but this is a fire hazard and burn hazard if I hadn't noticed it quickly enough and if the pan had overheated. I live with my grandmother who is 88 years old and also uses this range frequently. I had second incident a few days later on 9/19/2026 with another burner. I was making applesauce from recently picked apples, and turned it down to low heat when it got hot enough. I left the stove to go upstairs for 5 minutes, and when I came back down, my grandmother said the applesauce was burning and the burner was way too hot. She turned it off. There were no injuries this time either, but it was again a fire and burn risk.
