I re-set the circuit and the oven worked for about 10 minutes. The circuit tripped again. I removed the back and found a red and black wire that shows signs of arcing and the inside portion of the oven back is burnt and there is a small hole in the metal. The red/black connector was not all the way into the male portion of the connection. Could the arcing be a result of the bad connection where the back of the oven touched the connection or is this a more serious problem like a bad control panel? Thanks for your help.

Since the unit arced to the frame a control panel problem is unlikely unless it arced from the control to the frame. It is very important that you carefully inspect where the arcing occurred. You have to make sure the contacts are not pitted and that the wires are in good shape. No insulation burn off and nice and clean. Any pitting or wire degradation will cause a resistance in the circuit. As current passes through this resistance, it will heat up. As time goes on this will get worse till enough heat is generated to cause a melt down.
