I was making dinner tonight and the back left burner popped, sparked and tripped the breaker. I tried resetting the breaker, and it happeded again. After allowing it to cool and taking off the burner that seemed to be causing the problem, I tried resetting the breaker again, this time it didn't pop but none of the burners heated after about 5 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Dawn

Looks like the only one breaker is "on". The first thing I would do is check the circuit breakers and then check for 240VAC at the power outlet for the range. If the heating element is shorted to ground - it has to be replaced. - The part number for the 6" heating element is AP2027832 Gene.
