    Odd that your breaker is tripping with all burners turned off. It does not trip with old burner installed because it does not make up a circuit. The trip is likely caused bt a ground fault. Try the new burner in another burner location. If it doesn't trip the switch is bad. If it still trips the breaker the burner is faulting.
