Disconnect the range at the plug in the back and try the breaker again. If it pops off then problem is in the line feeding the range, or the breaker has been excercized too many times and has just weakened. If it stays on, then you'll need an analog meter to check out your range's electrical circuits. Do your top burners come out, out of a plug and socket? or are they hard wired into the range's wiring? If they come out, pull all the burners and plug in the pigtail and try each burner knob. If one knob turned all they way to HOT - on pops the breaker, chances are the circuit that feeds this one is shorting out. If they all pop the breaker then I'd look into the main line feeding all the controls. there should be a schematic somewhere on the range.
