Generally there is a plug for the fan motor under the range, the panel where the drawer would be should lift off, you will then see the power to the fan motor. The fan motor is only 120Volts not 220V
always unplug electricity before attempting to repair on any electrical appliance
one thing to be sure is there power to the range. if you can light the burner with a match your gas is good, If all burners are affected it can be a broken wire, power source, or spark module.

Some times a breaker can be partially tripped and not visible . You should try turning the breaker off and on several times.

Dear Genie,
Well, you are right in your surmising!
That water has shorted out perhaps as many as several items.
One way to solve this problem would be to wait until the water dries up, could take days or a couple of weeks.
Another way would be to take a hair blow dryer and dry the parts by blowing them for a while, perhaps 10 to 20 minutes, but to see if that fixed it, you would need to turn it on, which could cause a short!
No good.
Best idea is to take it all apart and see if there is visible damage, and to take and electric meter and test it all.
God bless your efforts.
gas is not in the diy domain as it is more deadly than electricity
call in a gas fitter who will have a gas sniffer to determine the exact position of the leak and carry out the repair
by the time you can smell the gas , it is already at the explosive mix with the air
The cook top is connected to 220 volts. In the house wiring there are two legs each 115 volts. Usually they connect with a red wire, black wire and the third a neutral. It is likely that at the connection to the unit or at the electrical box a connection has failed or the 220 volt circuit breaker has failed on one leg. A qualified electrician needs to do the repair!
Hope this helps?
electricians do a couple of years learning the trade
DIY people seldom get it right and generally hurt themselves or others by not getting it right
you say you installed the fans and all worked well but the cook top is now blowing the circuit breaker What caused the light switch to short
it is logical to say that somewhere in your wiring you have used a power or ground circuit that should not be used and that is causing overload or ground leakage problems
before you try fixing the problem , you have to know exactly what happened and to get that information you will have to get in an accredited electrician to explain what was done wrong
sorry that you will not appreciate the answer but there are too many people below ground because they did not recognize the simple fact that electricity and gas is not a diy domain
