I was using my oven a little while ago, and heard this loud pop, and saw
that the element was flashing white and burning in a spot. Turned the
oven off, and it continued to burn. I went outside and turned it off
with the circuit breaker and it immediately stopped burning. My question
is, why did it continue to burn after the oven was off, but didn't stop
until the circuit was turned off. Shouldn't the circuit breaker have
tripped? I removed the element and there is no burn behind it or
anything, but it puzzles me as to why it kept burning. TIA
