Trouble is, it doesn't unplug. The connection to the power line is hard-
wired. Looks like it is soldered but I didn't remove tape to check.

I've looked at all your responses that show up here and never did see
the ? answered of whether the breaker will reset with the oven/burners
all off?

He did answer it:


Didn't trip. Another pointer to a bad ovem I guess.




If so, they try oven and then broiler and report results.

Are the burner elements all functional -- if so, that actually answers
the first question.

There are just two connections to the element at the back of the oven
wall behind the mounting plate -- turn the breaker off and remove the
bake element and check continuity between the two leads when loose.

I've never had an element fail that actually wasn't obvious -- they make
a good arc welder for just a second generally, but they could open
without a catastrophic failure.

As Clare says, the particular oven/range would let us know the specific
device...

Agree with all the above.
