I hate electric stoves but its the one our landlord went with.
Long story short. While cooking all 4 burners went out along with the oven. It’s getting power since the clock and led indicating in use is still lit.
Is it something simple I can fix like a blown fuse or do I need to call the landlord?

I have to remove the back panel to replace the fuse in mine - DON’T do this with the power on of course. A bigger question though, is _why_ the fuse would blow if that’s what happened.

Double check the breaker and then call the landlord. I would expect my tenants to do just that.
