It tells me that you need help from someone that understands basic home electrical distribution. Reading between the lines, look for a friend or relative that can help spot the actual issue, poking around with this could cause death. You could also try reporting “partial lights out” to the power company, this problem could actually be outside your house. | |

| Sep 18, 2018 at 2:27 | comment | added | ThreePhaseEel | Is the breaker for the culprit circuit of lights&receptacles on or off when you turn the stove or oven on and have the culprit circuit work? | |
| Sep 18, 2018 at 1:58 | comment | added | edey | yes, the lights and the receptacles | |
| Sep 18, 2018 at 1:56 | comment | added | Machavity | So you have a dead circuit separate from the the oven circuit? | |
