You lost one of the hot supply lines, I would check the junction box where the ranges supply cable connects to your house wiring. If you find no faulty connection there test across the incoming red and black wires for 240 volts.
There are no fuses in your range that affect any of the heating elements,

Thanks for input, I swing by hardware and picked up a multimeter today, I haven't had time to pull the range out (its a drop in) to check the hookup. Will hopefully get to that in the next day or so. Thanks again for help! |

I have a Compact 30 and had to replace one of the burner controls. I was a bit surprised at how all that old cloth covered wiring is squeezed into the small space of the control panel, with a lot of it in contact with metal. I didn't see any signs of shorts or arcing, but it's something I keep in mind if the range starts acting up. And I take extra care to make sure no liquids are spilled in that area. I guess the range was designed and built in an era where it was acceptable that a price be paid for a smaller than traditional form factor.
