Ovens typically run at 240 volts which will be a two pole breaker in your panel. Watts = volts x amps.
4800 / 240 = 20 amps.
If by chance you are using 120 volts then double it to 40 amps. All wiring must conform to size of breaker used.
A short circuit in an oven can cause the circuit to overload, leading to a sudden surge in electrical current. This can potentially damage the oven components, trip the circuit breaker or fuse, or even cause a fire. It is important to address the short circuit promptly to prevent any further damage or safety hazards.
The basic assumption I am making is that your oven is on its own breaker with nothing else on the circuit. If oven is sharing circuit, unplug other devices. The problem is either with your breaker, the oven itself or the wire. If you have a good clamp-on ampmeter and know how to use it you can measure the current and see how it compares to the breaker rating. Provided the breaker doesn't trip instantaneously. To isolate the problem to the oven, make sure all stove top elements are off. Start with oven temp on lowest setting. If this trips breaker immediately there is a problem with your oven heating element or elements. There may be more than one. Somehow the resistance in the element has decreased or shorted and too much current is flowing. If the breaker doesn't blow immediately, there may still be a problem with element, but as you turn up the heat more voltage is applied to the element causing more current to flow. This would rule out a dead short, but not a bad element. If a new element doesn't fix the problem it may be a faulty breaker. You could test this by swapping the breaker with a know working breaker of the same ratings from your electric panel. You should only do this if you know what you are doing, because electrocution is possible.
That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.
It's doubtful; I wouldn't be able to answer that for sure unless I knew the particulars of your set-up (what is your microwave/toaster's draw? what kind of breaker do you have? etc.), but I don't see any reason why this microwave would help that situation.
An electrical short in the wiring, or a defect in the oven itself. Have it checked out by a qualified technician.
To reset a Whirlpool oven, locate the circuit breaker or unplug the oven for a few minutes, then plug it back in or flip the circuit breaker back on. This should reset the oven's settings.
Common causes of an oven breaker tripping frequently include overloading the circuit, a faulty heating element, a short circuit in the wiring, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
A short circuit in an oven can cause the circuit to overload, leading to a sudden surge in electrical current. This can potentially damage the oven components, trip the circuit breaker or fuse, or even cause a fire. It is important to address the short circuit promptly to prevent any further damage or safety hazards.
The purpose of a breaker for an oven is to protect the electrical circuit from overloading and prevent potential fire hazards by interrupting the flow of electricity when there is a surge in power.
A circuit breaker oven works by monitoring the flow of electricity in a circuit. If there is an overload or short circuit, the circuit breaker automatically shuts off the power to prevent damage or fire. This helps ensure safety during operation by cutting off the electricity before it can cause harm.
To reset a Frigidaire oven, locate the circuit breaker or unplug the oven for a few minutes, then plug it back in or reset the breaker to restore power. This should reset the oven's settings and clear any errors.
Before resetting the oven circuit breaker, ensure the oven is turned off and unplugged to prevent electrical shock. Check for any signs of damage or overheating in the wiring. Once confirmed safe, reset the breaker and monitor the oven for any unusual behavior. If the breaker continues to trip, seek professional help to avoid potential hazards.
The purpose of a circuit breaker for an oven is to protect the appliance from electrical overloads. It functions by automatically shutting off the power to the oven when it detects a surge in electrical current, preventing damage to the appliance and reducing the risk of fire.
Check the circuit breaker to see if it tripped.

Your oven may be tripping the breaker due to an electrical overload, a faulty heating element, or a short circuit. It is recommended to have a professional electrician inspect and repair the issue to ensure safety and proper functioning of the appliance.
