Smoke coming from control knob

if this is the model with the touch control buttons on front , ive seen a stove top spill that got down inside there cause some missoperation ,id start to look there for a reason , then id move on to replacing the control panel and last the logic board (its on back of front panel ) but I will say id unplug it till I resolved this problem if it turns itself on and your not home ,what could happen !!!!

If element caught on fire, I would suspect stove needs cleaning. Do that then elements should not smoke for long. (I hope all moisture was removed from stove!!!)

Hi There are a few things to check for: First make sure the electrode (the small metal piece that the spark comes ...or The water that you spilled onto the cooktop has shorted out the ignition switch in the gas control knob. Don't worry .

Spark switch at the valve needs to be checked/replaced.

Sounds like a short in that particular burner circuit. Usually when the light stays on even after cool down the heat sensor is bad. This is inside the burner. If your getting white smoke the burner switch could also be shorted out.

No recalls that I know of.  The switch for that burner has shorted and will need to be replaced.  It will be fine once it is repaired.
