On a combined cooker, liquid can travel across a shared panel or into unintended spaces. The affected location matters even if the spill began on the hob.
What the observation means
Do not assume that only the burner or zone directly beneath the spill needs attention. Moisture near electrical controls is different from a washable pan-support surface.
A useful next step
Stop use where liquid may have entered controls, and follow safe isolation advice without touching wet electrical equipment. Record what spilled and where it travelled. Do not heat the ovens to dry the panel or spray cleaner into the control openings.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
