Magic chef electric stove coil caught on fire I replaced coil but surface light stays on is this safe to use

The right front coil caught on fire and was throughing sparks and melted my pot. The surface hot light came on after that . I unplugged the stove and the next day I replaced the coil that caught on fire plugged in the stove and the surface hot light is on and will not go off.I'm affraid to try to use the stove not sure if it's safe. I'm thinking maybe the switch is bad for that coil burner as I took the backing plate off and that switch has black dust like there was something overheating none of the other switches looks like that. Please help ASP I want to know if I can still cook with replacing the switch safley

SOURCE: Surface Heat and other lights

you have a power promblem start where the cord connects to the range and go back from there to the fuses before you pull it out turn off the breakers loose connections will cause the cord to short out sometimes

SOURCE: Back burner caught fire

If the water has been dried up, it was most likely the drip pans. Water is non flammable, sorry i couldn't help myself. If water was the problem there would be sparks and buzzing noises first.

On my electric stove, one of the burner caught on fire, and now the indicator light stays on even after the stove is turned off

If the light remains on, that would indicate the circuit was damaged. The light goes on when the circuit is complete. This usually happens when the burner gets hot. If it caught fire, then the stove is registering it as hot all the time.

Magic chef gas range top burners will not stay light

This problem is almost always due to a defective gas valve. If you decide to replace the part yourself remember safety 1st, turn off the gas and disconnect power to the range.

Top of stove hot when oven on

I suspect this may have been happening for quite some time and you may never have noticed it. MANY ovens vent near one of the stove eyes. If you lift the cooktop for 'servicing', I bet you see the little vent. It is usually in the back right underneath the cooking surface. Check to make sure it is not blocked, clogged or has rusted out/off.

Magic chef stove

If the oven is working but the control does not light up then you will have to replace the control.  If the oven doesn't work then will have to check and see if you have power to the control.  If power is there then the control is bad.
