The other day, the bake element in my GE Oven caught fire. My wife couldn't get it out so I told her to trip the breaker. When she got back the fire was out. I wondered at the time, could the element have power with the oven Off? I didn't think much more about it but when the new element arrived, I decide to test the lead and sure enough, it reads 50v.. with the oven off! I don't think this in normal and have not installed the new element. I can't find anyone else with this problem on the net. Anybody have any ideas?
