As the title says, my Kenmore stove knob wouldn't easily turn, it tripped the breaker, and then started smoking. What should I do? Can I fix it?

repaired quit a few of these...If you look closely, the terminals on the switch touched the frame of the range....every time I see this , the switch mounting nut has backed off and the result is the switch dropping down and touching the frame....What were the designers  smoking that day???....All it needed was a thin fiber board running across the .top of the lower panel......I add a few layers of electrical tape to the burnt areas to the panel under the switches...

I have replaced the damaged terminals and the switch and that is about it..The L1 or L2 terminals are the tallest, they touched first....You could also add a drop or two of  lock-tite to the switch threads...

Thanks for the help all! So, do I need to replace the termials and wires, or can I just replace the switch? Do I need to do anything to keep the other switches from doing the same thing?
