Narrative

LED lights behind the burner knobs on the stove caught fire. When you turn on a burner there is a LED light behind the knob that lights up red to identify it is on. Turned it on to start cooking and while preparing food on the island after a few minutes smelled plastic burning. Turned around and a flame was coming out behind the burner knob. Quickly was able to extinguish it. Luckily I was standing right there. If not the scenario could have been a lot worse. I was able to remove the burner knob and found the the LED light had black burn marks on it which indicated where the flame was coming from. After that a portion of the LED light was not functioning and the other half would not go out. Had to totally disconnect the power source from the LED light. Posted on the Keystone Montana owners forum and within 1 hour 5 other people replied to having similar problems. This is a significant issue and could lead to very serious consequences. Luckily nobody in my family was injured and no major destruction occurred to my camper.
