We have never used it. It came this way to us new. Keystone said to take it to a dealer but they are backed up 4 months. Plus we are staying in it now.

I'm now more confused than ever.....
First, everything in the trailer that runs on 12 volts DC is protected by a fuse. Everything that runs on 120 volts AC is protected by a circuit breaker (not a fuse)..
The Furrion oven does not have 120 volts connected to it. The lights behind the knobs is 12 volts and in some ovens there is also an oven light that's 12 volts. Since there is no connection to the 120 volt system, it "logically is impossible" for the oven to trip a circuit breaker. I can understand the oven blowing a 12 volt fuse, many conditions could cause that to happen, but I don't understand how it's possible for the oven to blow a circuit breaker when there's no electrical connection to any of those components....
Are you using "fuse" and "circuit breaker" interchangeably ??? In Keystone trailers, fuses (in the power center) are ONLY used on the 12 VDC (battery/converter power) system/components and circuit breakers (in the power center) are ONLY used on the 120 VAC (shore power/generator power) are used on the 120 VAC system/components. There are a couple of "dual power components" in your trailer. The water heater uses 12VDC to control propane ignition and thermostat operation as well as 120VAC to control the electric element in the water heater. The refrigerator is similar, with 12VDC to control the gas function and thermistor function while the electric element is powered by 120VAC. So those two appliances could blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker, depending on what problem is occurring. But that can't happen with the Furrion range/cooktop, since there is no 120VAC connected to the appliance.
