Recently when I moved the range to clean, I heard a "pop" when I moved it back. One of the power cord strands had slipped off the block and caused a small burn mark. I replaced the block, re-connected the cords, checked the circuit breakers. The clock works, but the stove and range top don't heat. I looked for a fuse but couldn't find any. I wonder if the short fried my circuit board. Got any ideas?? Thanks.
Sounds like only 120 volts.get multi-meter and make sure there is 240 volts at block.if not,recheck wires and check breaker.clock will run on 120 volts but elements won't.

Re:
SkyKing, are you handy with a meter? sounds like you are losing a leg of power here. Check for voltage at the terminal block (where the cord hooks up. You should read, 120V from left to center, 120V from right to center and 240V across the two outer terminals. Check this first and post back. Catriver.

The self cleaning heats the oven to a temperature higher than standard operating temp for the panels to burn the dirt off, this also heats up the rest of the oven, Your clock module will have dry solder joints, these can be fixed and if you are handy with a soldering iron it is a reasonably simple job. Just be sure to disconnect the power before removing the clock module.
Bill ,i dont suspect the control unit is the problem im going back to the loud pop you heard I would say the pop you heard was one of the elemants blowing and that the reason the the breaker tripped if you say the clock,timer and light functon are ok it more so points to an elemant in most cases when an elemant blows it breaks the circuit .but the other componants also work when you reset the breaker i think in this case bill i would call a electrician it needs testing,sorry i could not help this time bill,but do not hesatate to contact me if i can help you again.adrian
if an element itself had shorted it would not stop the other from working and you could inspect each element and see blistering as evidence.the pop you heard has to be in common with both elements but not the cook top[burners]so thats going to be the wiring in the back of range, or switching,[thermostat,clock timer or oven selector switch,depends on which model you have]you will have to pull range and remove back pannels.you will find an obivous burn't connection.too repair all new connections must be clean and tight,or will burn again.
check your fuse / breaker box make sure you have power (sounds like you dropped a leg of power) make sure breakers/fuse is on/good flip it to off the to on if oven don't work then take a look at the cord to the range check power at the wall then open where cord goes into range check power or you may even find the cord burnt in there if so replace all damaged wires good luck
