Cooktop Element Heats To High Without Changing Control

For the last few months, the large element on the cook top surface will heat up to red-hot without actually changing the control. You can turn it on and it works fine for a while, but then all of a sudden it is red hot. Just recently, a second element has started doing the same thing. Both these elements are the front ones. Any clues?
