Possible Causes
Shorted heating element to ground, Damaged wiring harness contacting chassis, Faulty control board causing overcurrent
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the breaker and do not repeatedly reset it without finding the cause. Risk of fire or shock.
- Inspect elements: Look for visible damage or hot spots on bake and broil elements. Test each for continuity to chassis ground; any continuity indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.
- Check wiring: Inspect internal wiring for melted insulation or contact with sharp metal edges. Repair or replace damaged harness sections.
- Control board: If elements and wiring are good, the electronic oven control board may be shorted internally. Replace the board.
