I have a Frigidaire self cleaning electric oven. I heard a two pops and this tripped the circuit breaker. I can't reset the circuit breaker because the pops occur again and trip the breaker again. Any thoughts? Rob from Toronto

I have the same problem. It's happen two times. The first time, it was an unprotected power lug connected to a heating element that makes contact with the metal cover (just under the glass). The breaker tripped and after a careful isolation maintenance it was ok. Last night another f*** spark occurred. This time, the breaker did not trip and the heating element’s warm light are always ON. It’s the same problem on a different position. But it was a thermostatic contact lug shorting whit the f*** metal cover. The main issue is that the glass top is used to maintain isolation gap between power lugs and the casing (grounded). In fact, heating elements are spring loaded to reduce the spacing between glass and elements. If a pressure is made by the counter-top the glass is forced to un-bond (my case) and elements can move, make short-circuit and burn down my house.

Sounds like a shorted wire or something grounding.
Slide out range and unplug and take off bake and look around for a short either at the bake or broil element ot at the terminal where the cord connects.
