electric oven stopped working
It may be microprocessor controlled. Unplug power cord for 10 minutes and
plug back in.

Get hold of a schematic and see if the unit has an internal fuse. Then ohm out the heating element, thermostat, and switch.

electric oven stopped working
This is very general, but will give you an idea.
If you are trained at major appliance servicing (stoves), have a few test tools for it, and have a source for the parts, you can service it. The basic things to check are the thermostat, element control relay, control board, control module, computer board (if one is used in your model), and the heating element. Is there proper voltage comming in, and going to all the necessary devices? Check all the fuses first. The service people check the fuses, and for the presence of voltage to the required devices. If all is present, they change the modules and use the process of illimination to find the fault. The most common faults with these is the thermostat, relay, and the heating element. In some models, the relay is on a module that is changed as a replacement part. After servicing, it is a good idea to set the temperature to 200, 300, and 400 degrees. At each setting when the oven reaches stability, a test is done to make sure that the temperatures are accurate to the thermostat setting. If they are more than about 10% out, there is a fault condition. Sometimes the thermostat goes defective, thus making the temperatures not correct. Some manufactures will not sell service parts to non authorised servers. You will find this out for your stove when you go to purchase the parts. This has to do mainly with safety issues. They don't want to be possibly liable. I would suggest to call the authorised service rep for your stove. Normaly once he arrives, these are serviced in about an hour or so.

So, what voltage do your co-workers run on?
