All the heating elements went out on the Oven. At first, just thought it was the oven element (baking) but when I turned on the range top elements - none them work now either. This is a ceramic top stove with the elemements underneath....

Iv'e pulled the oven out and was going to take a look tonight but really have no clue what's going on here. Fuse? thermostat?

I cannot find any info on the given model number, please check it.

Unless the unit uses digital control of the stove top elements then odds are good that it is a power problem since the oven control and the stove top controls are separate.

I would check the power first.

Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
Check the voltage at the plug
L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
If OK
Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
If OK
Check the power at the terminal strip.
Do this with the heater off and on.
