A resident's Reddit post described a stove coil flashing, sparking and buzzing while ramen cooked, then melting; its connector later seemed to glow red when another burner was switched on. The article advises not using the affected burner until it is checked.
The original poster asked whether the stove was safe. One commenter interpreted the photo as showing the failed element melted to ground and said another burner could send current back to that area; this was a forum user's explanation, not a confirmed diagnosis.
For renters, commenters advised contacting the landlord or property manager. For an owner, the article says the burner and its wiring should be inspected before deciding whether to repair or replace the stove.
