Range or cooktop trips breaker when a burner or oven is turned on

Safety first: Leave the breaker OFF until the fault is identified. Risk of shock and fire is present.

• Identify circuit: Note whether the trip occurs when using a specific surface element, oven function, or any load.
• Inspect for damage: With power OFF, inspect wiring to the suspect element or module for burns, melted insulation, or contact with sharp metal edges.
• Test elements: Disconnect and test resistance of oven and surface elements. A very low resistance or continuity to chassis indicates a short.
• Dry moisture: If the unit was recently cleaned, allow it to dry thoroughly before retesting.
• Replace faulty part: Replace any shorted element or damaged wiring harness. If an internal module is shorted, replace the induction power module or radiant element assembly as appropriate.
