Troubleshooting Wiring Problems?

For no apparent reason my kitchen outlets stopped working. I also realized my stove wasn't working. I checked all the breakers, but none were tripped. A few minutes later they started working again, except the stove. Now the power to these outlets comes and goes. Here's where it gets weird, when checking breakers, I shut off the breaker to my stove (220) and it shut off my kitchen lights and power to outlets. I'm no electrician, but I'm pretty sure that shouldn't happen.

Somehow the wiring for the stove and power outlets are connected. In my house the stove has its own dedicated breaker. You need to call in a licensed electrician.

This is definitely something for a professional. Please let me know what they tell you so others can learn from your situation.

This sounds like your kitchen has faulty wiring and needs to be replaced. A lot of older homes have this issue and there is really nothing you can do on your own. You will need to hire a company to come out and repalce the wiring in your kitchen.

This should be brought up to code otherwise it can cause a fire. I would have it looked at immediately.
