Oven Bake Element
Repeated thermal cycling causes the outer metal sheath of the element to develop microscopic fissures. These cracks allow the internal resistive filament to bridge to the grounded casing, creating a dead short that often results in a visible arc or a tripped circuit breaker. Replacing the element restores the isolated resistive path required for heat generation.

Broil Element
The broil element operates at higher watt densities than the bake element, leading to accelerated oxidation of the internal nichrome wire. If the wire thins and snaps, it can weld itself to the outer tube, causing a continuous short-to-ground. This part is the most likely culprit if the short occurred during a high-heat broiling or self-cleaning cycle.

Power Control Board
When a heating element shorts, it creates a massive current spike that must pass through the control board's switching relays. This surge often exceeds the relay's rated amperage, causing the internal contacts to weld together or the copper traces on the PCB to delaminate. If a new element does not receive power, the relay board has sustained secondary damage from the initial short.
