I have never had one fail in my entire life.  Has anyone had one fail?  It happened to me during WC this evening.  I turned it off and felt something go wrong in it and then it would not turn off.  I dealt with it without having a flood and I know that I can replace it, but what a PITA!  Hardware store for me tomorrow.

It's happened to me Liz. Luckily I was able to control it before I had a major flood too.
