Nope, not me. The knob for my front left burner (Electric stovetop) inexplicably has to be pressed in after being brought back to zero to actually turn off. It doesn’t have to be pressed in to turn on, and none of the knobs for the other burners have to be pressed for anything, just the front left one to turn it off. Literally everyone in the house has burned themselves because of this hidden discrepancy at least once. We do not use the front left burner.
Break the gad one so it looks like it failed on its own. Then convince the landlord that longterm the induction is better and he should install that. You can get them for quite cheap nowadays.
He’s got standard models he buys to replace everything so that all of his apartments have the same appliances. I’ve tried to get him to upgrade when he’s replaced dishwashers and washing machines, no dice. He’s usually got an appliance on deck ready to go to replace the next one that dies in one of his units. Which honestly is more prepared than any other landlord I’ve met so hard to complain, but even harder to get him to upgrade.
I’ve got a home purchase in my near future, that’s the real solution to this problem.
Mostly because induction stove tops, except at the most expensive price point, don’t have knobs, only touch panels. Also, they usually turn themselves off if they don’t detect something they can induce a current in. But really though, despite the lack of knobs, I love my induction range and would never willingly go back to conventional or gas for my kitchen.

The front left burner has rejected you and your heretic family
Upgrade to an induction stovetop and the issue disappears.
I’ll tell my landlord to get right on that!

Yeah props for preparedness but yeah that sucks. Convince him to start stocking new stuff so it slowly gets replaced
But induction also leaves you no choice on burner supremacy. Why do they all have weird non-grid burner arrangements and only one large burner?
My front-right is supreme because it’s the only large one. Even if I secretly joined the front-left ascendancy
And that tiny summer burner behind it is unusable because the tiny pot would disappear behind the larger one

Luv me 'duction 'ob. Ate tuchscreen. Simple as.
Yeah that is what I meant. Lack of knobs can be annoying but it’s so much easier to clean.
