I.e. everything functions except the burners. How can I reset the cut-out relay for the surface elements? (I have to find such a thing first!)

We had to run a self-clean cycle (3 hrs, minimum) and then the silly relay re-set itself, and the surface elements work again. Damn! Why can't they just have a re-set button on the panel. I gotta wonder about the engineers who design those things... they should be forced to USE them themselves!
