Not really sure how old the cooktop is but it came with the house when i bought it a few years back. It has worked fine with no issues for the last 5 years. I removed the cooktop 2 years ago when i replaced the counter top but that was all i did. Last week when i turned on a burner i noticed the burner light did not come on and the burner didnt heat. I went outside and checked the breaker and it was tripped. I reset the breaker and as soon as i did so i could hear a loud "pop" from inside the kitchen. I removed the service panal from the front of the unit to see if maybe a wire somehow got disconnected. All connections look fine. Replaced the breaker (30 amp) and it did not help. So now i know the issue is in the stove itself. I have a multimeter but honestly i am not too sure on how to use it. Any advise on hw or where to look for the problem?
The problem is most likely in the element in one of the coils, if they are the tube type and look like pencil thick heating elements, they can develope a short circuit inside them. The actual heating wire is encased with ceramic filler and then put in that tube. The heating wire moves when it gets hot and can work its way to the case and cause a short. Unhook the power from the whole unit and use the meter to check the rersistance of the coils between the heating element and the case
