Hi.
It could be burner switches, indicator lights, spark module or wire harness. Check the harness first.

Simon. I followed the above advise and found NO SHORT. I installed the new transformer (and added a surge protector to the circuit). It worked for a while but has now failed again. I'm guessing that it only shorts out when a certain combination of burners is on or only when they are turned on/off in some unique sequence. Is that likely? What other component would most likely cause such an intermittent short?

Is it possible that a high voltage input could cause the transformer to fail as opposed to a short on the out put side?

I have had two transformer failures on this GE Cooktop in the last 3 months. What might cause this part to fail? It should be putting out 240 VAC on one circuit and 12 VDC on the other. It does so in when new but now has zero output.
