The product, in the report: GE JB720CN1WW electric range/oven
Something unusual happened when trying to preheat our GE JB720CN1WW, electric oven on Saturday 4/7/12. The oven started smoking, it tripped the circuit in our house, and after cleaning it up, it appears that the top broiler coil in the oven, touched the thin metal wire that holds the glass light bulb cover on, in the top back, left side in the oven. There appears to be some melted silver on the glass cover, and a few inches of the broiler is now missing, and is on the bottom of the oven floor in small pieces.. We bought this oven new in June 2009 @ Sears. Today I went to a few appliance stores, & looked inside new GE ovens, & the broiler location is now farther away from the light bulb cover. I have photos of the inside of my oven, that I can share with you. I have not seen that there have been any recalls on this, but have seen on your website that others have had a similar problem.
