Viking VGIC365 6B -- shorts out

My 11-year-old oven started throwing a circuit breaker several months ago. I can reset the circuit, but until the oven cools down, no juice to the kitchen. I called my friendly repair tech -- who has replaced the igniters several times -- and he thought it might be a faulty thermostat. Replaced it, but still blows a circuit when hot. Next called electrician to check kitchen. No problems with house wiring. Called back friendly repair tech who says is a short in the oven, and he can't work on it. Called a new repair tech, who finds and repairs a short, also reinsulates the oven, but when it still threw the circuit breaker, he pointed to the kitchen wiring. Called the electrician, who tinkered with the GFIs but says the problem is the oven. HELP! Note, this only happens when the oven is hot, not when the igniters fire up.
