Thank you again for all the details.
I tried removing the sdcard and it appears to start up with LED light ON and some values missing from the duet's screen now. It sounds like i need to see if it under warrenty. It was purchased in 2016 so im sure if anything, i would be under something limited. I will begin that process now.
Thank you for ideas on some suggestions to combat this. Up until now it appears like i have had a false sense of security as I know there are some temp checks within the settings but they do not appear to prevent this specific one. I will be performing one or both of the suggestions provided. I will also be removing it from my house as im sure that with issues like this I would expect difficulties \ trying to retrieve any fire insurance while it is located inside and probably an issue with coverage.
I was in the next room for this one, It was my kid that alerted me to the smell that was coming from the room due to the excess heat. A fire extinguisher was on hand and next to the printer.
Thank you again for all of your help. This was a scary one. Hopefully all the nervousness will settle and well get back to printing at a regularly schedule.
