Even if a ring or oven control knob looks as if it is turned off the contacts in the switch may be stuck "on". You should be able to see which is the the faulty switch from the names or symbols that are on or near each knob by checking carefully exactly which ring or oven is staying hot. It may not be worth spending any money on an old stove, unless you are really into restoring antiques... So turn the stove off at its main switch on the wall and call in an electrician to help you decide what to do!
