I’m assuming it’s an electric stove?

See and electric stove uses 220 volts and would not be on the same circuit as your bedrooms.
Dimming is one thing, but tripping the breaker just should not happen. Is this a new install? Was any electrical work recently done?

Ok the more info the better, thank you.
See, but none of this makes much sense. It almost sounds like the breaker that is tripping is weak. Replacing it might not be a bad idea. But it still doesn’t sound right. A 220 stove has nothing to do with your bedrooms.
