I had no idea my stove was on. I have not used my stove in days. 3 or so at least. I'm suprised my house did not burn down!

Could my electrical system fry? God I hope not.

I've been working long hours and this is what I come home to. I'll never leave the house again without doing a CHECK LIST from now on.

I'm ussually a resposable adult but my job at a resturant has got me so over worked and tired I have trouble remembering things. I live by myself so there is no one else around to shut off such things.

I probably just bumped it. I have a small kitchen. Even at 250 in temp my oven did not apear very hot. Still I worry. My electric bill could be a shock though.

It might have just happened tonight but still it bothers me.

I would not worry about it that much. If it was 450 or more than it might make me a little concerned. I can't tell you how many times I have left my stove on over night at 350-425, it's gas but still costs money to run

Ovens are designed to run long hours without a problem...and at 250 degrees, a very low setting...it would not appear to feel too warm...and should not have run that terribly much in expense either. Nothing to fret about

Think of it as a mild way of heating your home for a couple of days.

my best friend uses thier oven to heat thier house as its electric and thier heat is gas.. the electric oven is cheaper to run and can heat 45% of the apartment with ease.
saving them a bit of coin

Was there any animal droppings by the stove? Could be a conspiracy.
