I was very pleased. It was one week before Pesach, and the kitchen was clean! It was a good feeling to have it out of the way.
But what was this? A light on the stovetop indicated that a burner was on, even though all the burners were turned to the "off" position.
That was not a good thing. We had a problem like this once before; when we turned the knob to "off", the burner remained on. At the time, we had to order a special part and have it installed. I was not thrilled at the prospect of losing days of use of my stovetop!
I quickly turned off the circuit breaker for the range, so at least there wouldn't be any imminent danger. My next step was to Google the problem, in the hopes of finding an easy, or at least workable, solution.
