Range trips the circuit breaker when oven or certain burners are turned on.

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Turn off power and leave it off until the fault is found. Risk of fire or shock.

Steps to check and correct:

• Identify trigger: Note whether the breaker trips when a specific function (bake, broil, a particular burner) is used.
• Inspect elements and wiring: With power off, inspect the associated element and wiring for signs of arcing, burns, or insulation damage. Replace any damaged parts.
• Test elements: Use a multimeter to check for continuity between each element terminal and chassis ground. Any continuity indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.
• Check for moisture: Look for signs of water intrusion from cleaning or spills and allow components to dry thoroughly.

When to call a technician: If you cannot locate the short or if the breaker still trips after visible repairs, professional electrical diagnosis is required.
