I have a 40" Gibson stove that turns the right front eye on by itself. Also the digital clock has quit keeping time. It just stays on the time you set it to. What is wrong?

I have a Gibson 40" Model MEF402WFW1 that turns on one of the eyes by itself and has shocked the tenant who uses it. He said it knocked him against the sink. What would cause the burner to turn on by itself and how can someone get a shock? He was wearing rubber soled shoes and was dry. Serial number NF82100229, Mfd, May 1998 in Canada.

Quote:What would cause the burner to turn on by itself Turn on and glow red or just get warm? Only by a problem in its switch could allow either. I myself have never come across a range with an element switch that failed in such a manor. See "Components You Can Check With An Ohmmeter In Your Electric Range" at the following link for how to test the switch for your particular complaint. LINK > How To Check Continuity With OhmmeterQuote:how can someone get a shock? If there was a short to ground in the range somewhere and the person was touching it as well as a ground, it could happen. A partially shorted element (see the following link) is possible or a short in the range's wiring. LINK > How do I test an electric stove element?JMO Dan O. www.Appliance411.com
