Thanks for the information, DeafSmith. I'm glad there is at least a solution for this problem.

Prosper: I haven't opened up the subpanel yet, but I did open up the oven receptacle, and there are definitely four wires going to it: black, red, white, green. I also don't know the gauge of the wire by looking at it, but I imagine it's thick enough to carry 40A at 240V, since that's the...

OK, that makes me a little nervous. Assuming all I'm doing is replacing a regular 40A breaker in a subpanel with a GFCI 40A breaker, what kind of damage could I conceivably do? The breaker I ordered is the same type as the one I'm replacing, so it will definitely fit. Replacing a breaker...
