They heat but don't glow and we have to shut off using breaker. How do I determine which part to replace. No arcing or burnt wires in the back. Coils seem intact. Also display does not show any faults and everything normal and turned off.

Finding the mark left by the spark may help trouble shoot the problem. Make sure the power is off before doing anything!!! 240 volts is lethal!!! It sounds like the elements are grounded re: they are getting 120 volts instead of 240 volts. Check them where they are supported As an example the lower element's feet, the element may have shorted to the foot and this is shorting to the frame.
