When my stove is plugged in, the sparker, goes off by itself, without me even turning any of the knobs. I have a feeling my friends spilled some triple sec liquor on the stove. I just thoroughly cleaned the stove, under the cover. The problem persists thought. What should I do?!

Make sure all gas lines are off, turned off at the source to be sure if I were you. Call the manufacturer.

Well the gas is ok. It's not leaking or anything (I think). It has to do with the wiring I think. The stuff that spilled on it left a very sticky residue, like orange juice. I'm not about to call my manufacturer now, it's 1:04 am.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

unplug it and wait till the morning to call the repair company. Also make sure the gas is off.
Well, if you KNOW the gas is off, it shouldn't be too much of a problem past just wearing out the stove, and you can call them tomorrow. Is it under warranty?

Most likely, no. The stove is older than I am probably. The problem was obviously caused by someone spilling that shit all over my stove and not telling me -_-. What would cause a wire to overide it's switch and allow current automatically?Flaming_Maniac wrote:

either your switch is stuck in internally, or you have a short between two wires within the switch. (ps. I work on commercial food equipment for a living.)

Could it get stuck internaly from sticky liqued holding it down? And if so is there any way to clean it out?
possibly you could take the switch apart. you could also go to your local home store and probably purchase a new one rather cheap, switch I mean.
If you can, PM me the make and model, possibly the serial number and I can find out more specifics for you if you want.

If youre using an electric stove, you can rest the knives on top of the elements rather than jamming them underneath, saves bending the elements.

Tends to avoid hot and cooler spots, so the hash spot burns completely........Pubic wrote:

And you can put a tincan lid over top also, riptop lid is best, and have an extra set of knives for rapid-fire spots.
Its fucked. Take it outside and use it as a grill for BBQ
