Hi @tonytohme ,
The circuit breakers will trip due to excessive current flow caused by either a short circuit connection between the active and neutral supply connection in the cooktop or a short circuit between the active feed and earth connection in the cooktop.
The fact that it doesn't trip after it has been reset could be caused by whatever caused the short circuit has most probably been burnt out due to the excessive current flow and is now open circuit.
The service manual mentions having a thermal cutout which may, stress may have have been affected by the fault condition and disconnected the supply path in the control modules, but it could be any number of other things as well.
The cooktop will have to be opened and initially the boards should be inspected for any obvious damage, e.g. burnt out components etc. If nothing is obvious then it will have to be diagnosed as to what the problem is. The manual also mentions that you need special tools to get to some boards so doing this may not be so easy.
If this seems too daunting either contact the repair service section of the cooktop manufacturer or an authorized repair service (as they should have the appropriate tools) and ask for a quote to repair the cooktop.
This is from the manual:
