At this very moment I have an appliance repairman looking at our
electric stove which has been tripping breaker. Last week he could not
find the problem and blamed the breaker and suggested we get an
electrician to look at it. Electrician could find nothing wrong with
the box or the breakers.

Re-check the cord kink issues ? and the connection block.
... although both the appliance guy and the electrician
_should have_ checked this ...

I had a dryer cord fail at the connection block once .. after
working fine for 5 years or more ..

That is a possibility but electrician did not pull out the stove to
check. Repairman has it out now. When electrician was here he had all
the burners on along with the stove and broiler and breakers held. Now
with repairman here, oven breaker is popping. He's on the phone with
Whirlpool service. My concern is that this repair bill might exceed
cost of the stove.

Might also mention for ng that while electricians were here I had them
check out cause of blinking lights in kitchen when wife was in the
dining room. Turned out that it was due to led lights in the kitchen
that are on a regular switch but dimmer switch in dining room can cause
kitchen lights to blink since they are on the same circuit.
