Sandy, As we're sure you know, water and electricity don't mix. If there was a spill over or water in or on the element receptacles, you could cause a short and receive a mild shock if you're touching certain areas or portions of the range, especially an electric range. By now things should have dried out satisfactorily and shouldn't present a problem. If the shock is still present then you'll need to check for a pinched or damaged wire in the range. There is no "gasket" involved in the element or receptacle, you probably mean the metal separator near the end of the element assembly, they can come loose on occasion, but don't normally present a problem. You would need to replace the element if that is the case.

Jim, the model number given is not pulling up in our systems as being valid. The closest model I could locate is a Kenmore Washer. Please double check the model number and repost for further assistance. Thanks.

Kelly, There is a vent under the right rear burner that will cause the burners to get hot when the oven is on. For the burners sitting too high the only thing that you can do is to make sure that they are properly seated in the top and that the correct burner bowls are installed.
