Stove Suspected of an Electrical Short: Fire-Safety Steps

Treat a stove that sparks, smells of burning plastic, trips its breaker, overheats while switched off, or shows smoke as a stop-use problem, not a reset or DIY electrical test. Keep people away, stop cooking, and leave the appliance off; if there is an active fire, keep an oven door closed when that is safe, leave immediately if flames escape, and call emergency services from outside.
