My Fridgidaire FEF366BCC just popped my breaker

My Fridgidaire just popped my breaker downstairs. I unplugged the stove from the wall and switch my breaker back and the breaker hasn't popped since. Once I plugged my stove back into the wall, it popped the breaker again and sparks came out from where the plug goes in. Is there any type of ground that could be defecting this? I pulled of the back panel to make sure everything was tight.

This sounds like a main control problem. More specifically like one of the relays is shorted. You will need to acess the main control and carefully inspect it for any burn marks. If you don't see any disconnect the main power supply wire going to the main control. Then plug it back in if it trips the breaker the problem is in the power cord or wiring from the cord junction to the main control. If it does not trip the breaker the problem is the main control.

MY FRIDGIDAIRE 30" SELF CLEANING STOVE WILL NOT COME ON. BREAKER IS ON. WHAT IS WRONG?

Will need to check for power behind the stove and take it from there as to what is next, the power circuit from the breaker or the stove itself.

Had power go off now er flashing on all burners can not reset

It's possible that you had a surge when the power returned that scrambled the controller's brain. Try disconnecting power and reconnecting to restore normal operation. Disconnect power by unplugging the stove from the wall or switching off the breaker that controls it at your main circuit breaker box. Wait a minute or two, then plug the stove back in or turn the circuit breaker back on. If the stove does not work after this, you may need a new controller board.

Ge_jgs750sefss stopped working

I had a stove that wouldn't work after the breaker switched off even after resetting the breaker. I had to unplug the stove and then plug it back in to get it to work again. I'm not sure if this will help our not but it's worth a try.

Oven stopped working

If you are saying that the breaker in the breaker box has been tripped, then there is a problem with the circuit or in the stove. The circuit may be checked with a volt meter. If the problem is in the wiring circuit, the breaker will trip with the stove unplugged. The problem is most likely in the stove, and the stove's wiring needs to checked. If you are unfamiliar with 230V wiring and how to safely test the wiring, have an appliance technician service the stove.

My frigidaire gallery series oven made a popping noise while heating up dinner in oven and now the whole oven is not working

Hello jnjpelli - Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and restart the unit. If the oven does not turned on, then more than likely there seems to be a power supply issue. Also try checking the breaker and the power connections located on the back of the range. If any of these suggestions prove to be ineffective, connect with a professional to accurately pinpoint any potentially more serious issues

Frigidaire gallery stove, oven not working,

Morison,
The same thing happened to me about a week ago. I was preheating our electric oven, heard a very loud bang/pop. Checked and the oven had PF (power failure) I went downstairs and the breaker was tripped. Came back upstairs and to look at stove, the burners are working fine so I continued to preheat oven after a half an hour the oven was only slightly warm. Did you ever find out what was wrong?
