Default Need help - My range trips the breaker if I touch the indictatorlight

Hi there,

I need some help to figure out why my range shorts out.

If I turn it on, but I just touch the indicator light (the little
light the size of your finger nail) that tells you the element is on,
the range breaker trips and then the main house breaker.

If I touch the on/off dial sometimes that trips the breaker too.
This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks. The 1st time was when I was cleaning
the dials with a damp cloth to remove some grease and that's when it
started happening.

This only happens to the controls on the right side of the range (the
side I cleaned). The left side doesn't seem to have the problem.

Anyone have ideas what is going on?



Thanks in advance.
Andrew
