Spilled water on electric stove top?
I tipped over a tall glass of water and it fell directly onto the stove and spilled all over. It is an electric stove/oven that is less than 2 years old. I turned off the breaker switch and unplugged it before opening the top and sopping up the water with dry towels, I also removed the elements to let them dry off on a rack. I am a little concerned because some drops of water got on the wiring that connects the elements. It was a very little though, the wiring was not submerged or anything, just had a few splashes. My main concern is the oven vent that comes up to release hot air from beneath the back burner. When I look down into the tube it I can see a little pool of water. I can't reach down there and I'm not planning on using it again until it has dried out. Is it possible that any of the electrical parts have been damaged? I am a little worried about getting shocked, and am really hoping that nothing will have to be replaced. I may be over thinking this, but if anyone knows anything about electrical stove tops I would love to hear what you think.

It will be fine. Think how many boiled-over pots go onto electric ranges. Don't worry about it.
