While putting the stove back together to use the burners (see F1 -7 problem in earlier post) another problem occurred. When I turn the breaker back on it snapped off and I heard a pop from the stove. The Red Wire slip connector to the front right burner control had blown off the switch and there was an obvious short that caused the slip connector to burn. The burners were not installed and the control was off. I ohmed the burner controller black hot to red hot and it was open. I ohmed the whole stove and it read about 4k ohms. If I read the whole stove with the control board disconnected it reads open. I put a fuzed clip lead from the red wire slip connector to its proper terminal on the burner controler, and when I turn on the breaker and it blows the fuze. An open circuit appears to short hot to hot inside the switch when power is turned on. I think there are SCR controls in the these burner controls and maybe they are breaking down when under high voltage. If I leave this slip connector disconnected from its controller and taped off all works well except the front outside burner that this controller operates obviously won't work. Has anyone run into this problem before. I seems I'll need to replace the burner controller, but the problem seems a bit confusing

Thanks for your help

No see my post on F1 -7 problem. The burner problem popped up when putting the thing back together when diagnosing the F1 -7 problem.

Yeah I know maybe I screwed something up but I don't think so. I'm pretty knowledgable and am an electronic engineer (I know so what). Anyway I have the F1 -7 problem and was metering about and looking. When i put it back together I got the burner short. Al the burners work except the one I disconnected (taped the red wire off). If I try to connect it to its proper terminal it shorts to black hot. Yet when I ohm it with my VOM it (across the burner control and the full stove) it reads open circuit. Strange.
