Today I Learned:
A: That this thread existed because I checked before starting one. :smile: Love the idea, hope its ok to try to bring it back to life.

B: Electric ovens (at least some) that run in 220V are actually running 2 110v circuits 180degrees out of phase. This means that if, for instance, the element cracks arcs to the oven body and begins welding itself, turning off the oven doesn't actually stop the current. Side note: If this happens and the oven is not grounded, touching the body of the oven will shock the fuck out of you. Luckily, I grounded my oven when I installed it :smile:
