They are whirlpool products. The other items in the kitchen are working, coffee maker, frig, dishwasher.. Is the gfi usually tied into the 220 supply to the oven?Had a similar thing happen at the new house. Is it by chance a Frigidaire brand? My gfi was tripped in the kitchen.
Fried circuit board is what I am afraid of.If i had to quess and it has a digital clock there is more than likely a circuit board and it has a short in it at some point but i have been wrong before hopefully i am this time and it is just something simple.
I'm not an electrician, but I have done my share of wiring. My guess would be a fried ground and/or reversed polarity causing it to only ground once you get a complete circuit through the stove. That's a dangerous situation that can result in YOU grounding it out at the wrong time by touching the wrong thing.
I'd pull the oven, as irritating as that is, and verify the wiring in the back. Voltage, ground (fried by the zap?), and that it's wired properly to the correct wires on the oven. It could have been working all this time with the wires backwards and until it got zapped you wouldn't notice.
Here's a video of a 110 plug wired improprely yet functioning fine.
