Short answer
No power can be a tripped breaker, a lost connection, or an open in the circuit. “Half working” usually means one of the two 240V legs is missing — at the breaker, a connection, or a conductor. Both are diagnostic situations; an electrician traces the cause safely.
A dead range, or one where some burners work and others don't, points to specific faults. Understanding them helps you describe the problem.
Why 'half working' happens
Full-size ranges run on 240 volts, which is two 120-volt hot legs. If one leg is lost — a tripped half of the breaker, a loose connection, or a broken conductor — parts of the range that only need one leg may still run while the rest goes dead. That classic pattern is a strong clue.
Why 'no power at all' happens
A completely dead range can be a fully tripped breaker, a failed breaker, a lost connection at the outlet, or an open somewhere in the circuit. It can also, occasionally, be the range's own controls — which is why diagnosis matters.
Wiring or appliance?
This is the key question, and it's exactly what a diagnostic visit answers. An electrician uses a meter to check both legs, the breaker, and the connection, which rules the appliance in or out so you don't replace the wrong thing.
What you can check first
Safely confirm whether the range's breaker is tripped (and reset it once — if it trips again, stop). Note whether it's fully dead or partially working, and when it started. Beyond that, leave the panel and outlet to a professional.
When to call a licensed electrician
Tracing a lost leg or an open circuit requires a meter and training. Have a licensed electrician diagnose it rather than guessing at parts.
