NO THE AGA DOESN'T EXPLODE THE TEMPERATURE MAY RISE WELL INTO THE RED BUT THERE IS A BIMETAL SAFETY SWITCH SITUATED IN THE LEFT HAND COWLING WHICH ACTIVATES HOWEVER EART LEAKAGE BI-PASSES THE HEATING COIL AND THEREFORE THE POWER IS SIMPLY LOST WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE,THE DRAIN IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO BLOW THE 30 AMP FUSE AND THE ELECTRICITY DRAINS TO EARTH BY A "LOW RESISTANCE PATHWAY",ONLY WHEN THE EARTH IS POOR AND THE PROBLEM ARISES DO YOU HAVE A SERIOUS DANGER AS YOU WOULD RECEIVE A SUSTANTIAL SHOCK.
