[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3751518, member: 50228"] 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.
