I was driving along and smelled this strange hot smell.  Almost like the
hot electronic smell, almost like hot truck brakes, almost like burnt
toast.  I was driving on the interstate in the mountains, so thought it
might be an outside smell.  Time goes by, and I'm still smelling it.  I
stick my nose down by the dash air vent so I'm just smelling outside
air.  No smell.  I open the vent window, so that is sucking air past me and
out oft he van.  The smell gets worse.  I pull off at the next exit and
immediately go to the cabinet under the sink where the inverter is running
the fridge.  Nothing hot down there.  I start feeling around behind the
fridge cabinet where the heat from the fridge vents out.  HOT!!!!

I woke up that morning and made a quick cup of tea before hitting the
road.  When I turned off the stove, I turned it the wrong way, so it went
to that really low flame, instead of off.  Closed the top on the stove and
sink and drove off.  Minor discoloration and warping of the dish drain, and
a dark spot on the underside of the top.  I will make sure I turn that knob
the right way from now on, and I hope you will too.
