HotPoint cooking range: burner not getting heated up

Posted by on August 26, 2006, 8:05 pm

Hi,
My hotpoint range is ~ 3.5 years old.
This morning the burners just stopped getting heated up.

I noticed that the clock was not displaying. It usually happens when
there is a power outage. I checked the power and it was ok. I turned
the unit ON and then the clock was flashing(as if power came back, and
it is waiting for me to reset the clock)
The red indicator light also turns ON, but none of the coils get heated
up nor does the oven unit below. I left it on for a while but the
burners never got heated up.

I know it is not a fuse or power issue since the indicator light does
come up.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting or what kind of electrician to
call.... Please share any experience you have with this.
Thanks,
Raj

assuming electric range it may still be power issue...

one side of power line out no 240 volt just 120 for clock............

if just one burner quit switch or burnewr but since they all quit
together probably power line.

how handy are you?

None, I am a full time mom and no handy knowledge :(
Neither my husband has a clue.

All the burners stopped working at same time. When it is in OFF
position, there seems to be no power (clock is off)
When I turn it on, clock starts flashing (so clock gets the power only
on turning the range ON) But burners still do not get the power... ?
Would it be expensive to call a hot point technician and what my
options are?
Thanks.

it is probably partially tripped

go try the main breaker box
