No, it will not harm the stove.
my roommate is constantly flipping all circuit breakers off and on at least 4 times a week. he has been asked repeatedly for month to stop and hasn't. my dishwasher and coffeepot are both dead. did this damage these appliances
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.It sounds like the wiring is either short, damaged, or crossed. The breaker flipping off is to protect an overload of power....similar to a built in surge protector.It sounds like one half of the two pole breaker that feeds the stove is tripping on an overload. The reason that the burners do not get hot is because they are 240 volt elements. The clock circuit voltage is fed from the other half of the two pole breaker that is still working. In the back splash of the stove there should be a removable plate that has fuses behind it. Remove, the usually two screws that hold the plate on, and look for a fuse that has blown. These fuses protect the individual burners from short circuiting. If there are no fused blown replace the cover.Next thing to check is the connection of the range feeder to the breaker. You might want to get an electrician to do this. What he will look for is a bad connection from the feeder to the breaker. If this connection is OK then he will check the connections at the stove receptacle and where the cord connects to the stove.If you decide to go the electrician route, tell the electrician the size and make of the breaker (probably a 40 amp) and the size of your electrical panel in amperage. This way they can bring the correct breaker with them and you will not be charged extra time for them to go and find one.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
It is called flipping someone off
Turning the breaker on allows the power to flow through to the outlets, lights, and appliances on that circuit, so yes power goes to and through a turned on breaker. If the breaker is off, but the main power is on, power still get to the breaker, usually from the bus bar that runs down the middle of the back of the breaker box.
try higher amp breaker
You still need a circuit breaker. From your question it appears your stove is hardwired to the panel. It is perfectly acceptable to connect it to a suitably specified outlet and plug for the voltage and amperes for the stove. Basically you would turn off the breaker, install an outlet on the floor or wall so as not to interfere with stove. You can buy cords with the proper plugs and mating receptacles in most any hardware store. For an electric stove with an oven you are usually talking about a 50A breaker and the corresponding outlet and plug. This can be dangerous and if you are not sure of what you are doing an electrician is highly recommended.

It is best to call a repair man out to look at it. Flipping the breaker can make it stop until they can get there and make sure there is no danger from the malfunction.

Depends on the stove, but usually not
yes
It is quite rude.
While there is no law against flipping people off in Alabama, being legal doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Always use good judgment when emotions are involved and choose better actions than flipping people off.
It sounds like your stove is missing a ground wire. Sounds like one of your elements has shorted to ground. Shut the stove off at the breaker and get a qualified electrician to look at the problem. For you to get a shock you must have had your other hand on the stove or you are standing on a grounded medium. (eg concrete floor.) DO NOT USE THE STOVE. The amount of current you could receive could kill you.
A circuit breaker does not give off amperage. A circuit breaker allows a flow of current up to the rating of the breaker. Any current higher than that of the breaker's rating will open the breaker's contacts and stop the flow of current.
