Heard a spark coming from the cooktop. trips the circuit breaker when ever I try to turn on the breaker again. technician came and told me that i need switches located in the base of the stove. charge 445.90 with parts and labor. I check parts online and does not appear to be that costly. I am getting a fear deal. based on the symptoms that I read when the this problem 100% leads to fanswitch.????

SOURCE: poping sound, sparks shooting out and 220 circuit breaker out

Did you move the breaker fully off before turning it back on? make sure the offending burner is off.

It sounds as though the element shorted out.

SOURCE: stove is tripping circuit breaker

if it is an old stove i would say have it serviced/checked over. if it is a newer stove i am guessing the circuit breaker predates it and is rated for the old stove therefore you will need to have a larger circuit breaker installed (by a licenced electrician)

SOURCE: electric shock from cooktop, didn't trip breaker,

Where did you smell the smell was it from the fan switch. turn the power off and take the screw out of where the fan switch is and check the wires to the switch and the switch itself. sometimes the jennair cooktops have issues with that switch. let me know how it goes

SOURCE: stove not on - but fan comes on automatically -

it sounds as if the thermostat is broke. it could be the two wires off the thermostat are after melting together. ( burning smell). the thermostat stops power going to fan when it sences below a certain degrees. but your one has been cut out of the circuit due to the two cables melting together. this means fan will constantly stay on. you need to find and replace thermostat and make sure no cables melted together. if they are then seperate and use insulating tape to re insulate.make sure circuit breaker is off while doind this

SOURCE: cooktop spark igniter will not turn off

This is usually a bad spark module that is not sensing that the burner is lit. You need to replace it. Is it still under warrantee? Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

My miele electric cooktop will not stay on after I trip the circuit.

Without more info this is difficult to answer. I will say that all cooktop's have thermal overload switches built into them. They open the circuit until it all cools down and they then close the circuit and reset. You begin using it again and bang it opens again and no power. This means you have a short circuit or a bad overload switch. If you are tripping the circuit breaker, you likely have a short circuit, which is why it is tripping the breaker. I would not keep resetting it, if this is the case. The more you blow or open the breaker the weaker it becomes. They open to prevent an electrical fire, which you do not want.

When second igniter is turned on, circuit breaker blows

Normally if trip switch activates, it means there is a problem on the ignitor board. Easiest way is to replace it. Trying to repair it is like playing dice. A good repairer is pricey and a poor repairer is costly.(At least with a new board, there is a gaurentee.) Unfortunately it should be replaced by a responsible technician as the gaurentee is not valid if done by a non technician.

Breaker in panel tripped and won't turn back on

You may have a short circuit to ground fault in the electric cook top. Divide and conquer. Unplug the cook top and try to reset the breaker. If the breaker resets, then you have a problem with the electric cook top. If it doesn’t, then the problem is at the electrical panel side. Either problem will require a qualified technician’s assistance. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Electrolux induction cooktop shuts off and won't turn back on

There is an internal thermal circuit breaker. The breaker has gone bad. On-line of Electrolux find a service manual of your model to locate the breakers location. Contact a local appliance parts store for a replacement also ask for heat sink gel(very small amount). Trip the circuit breaker, remove bad one, clean the space, apply gel and replace it.

Burners on JP326 electric not heating

Sounds like breaker tripped so no 220 to unit. Reset breaker. The burner switch you first turned on probably blew out and needs replacing, so don't turn it on again. If all else works ok, then that is it. Unless you are handy you may want to call the repair man.
