Candy double oven. Bottom oven when switched on, blows all power in house. When control knob of bottom oven is witched back off, power switches can be reset. Top oven, clock etc do not blow power. All power on at moment but cannot use bottom oven.
There is a short circuit between the lower oven control and the lower element.
Disconnect the lower element. Put electrical tape on the loose terminals and turn the lower oven on.
If it does not blow, replace the lower element with a new element.
If it does blow, Check the wiring to the lower element for continuity to the frame of the range.
If you get continuity replace the damaged wire..
Finally, check the control knob switch for continuity to ground on the frame of the oven.
