:help: Long & Short of it is a 2 / 15 amp Joined Breakers Popped... Have Flipped On / Off a few times .. No Resistence, won't Click On as it should.. Would that mean possibly the Breaker is Toast ??
Not sure what this breaker could be. You've described a 2-pole breaker which would be for a 240V something.
Not big enough for typical 240V clothes dryer, electric stove, A/C compressor or base board heater.
Whatever this circuit is for, remove the load and then try to reset the breaker. If no luck, then replace the breaker.
Two circuits on a three wire are tied together.
If the old stove top was electric, maybe; but otherwise why a 2-pole for outlets? Does it split to 110 someplace downstream?
The kitchen outlets are split, all the tops on one circuit and the bottoms on the other, with the idea, you could use the toaster and mixer at the same time in the same outlet.
Has Norplan confirmed this?

I think what he has is a multi-wire branch circuit.
. As mentioned previous the House was Built / Wired Mid 70's the Panel & Existing Breakers were Mfg. by Commander at that time, which is now part of Eaton... The Blown Breaker is a 2 pole BQL 15 amp.... How it is Wired into the Panel, (1) Ground Wire is paired with a group of other Grounds and placed at the end of the Panel.. (2) White Wire is into the Ground Bar... (3) Black Wire is into the Rightside Breaker .. (4) Red Wire is into the Leftside Breaker...
