Troubleshooting Electrical Circuit Problem?

This morning I was using the toaster oven, then I turned it off and use the microwave for 30 seconds. And then hit 30 seconds again on the microwave and the power went off to the microwave which is above the range. The overhead lighting in the kitchen, the track bar over the bar in the kitchen, the stove, and the recessed lights in the living room all went out.

I have flipped all of the breakers. I unplugged the microwave and re-flipped all of the breakers. Nothing has worked. I know I can call an electrician. I just don't have a bunch of money to do that. I'm just asking for suggestions that I might possibly be missing. Please help.

Breakers DO GO BAD once in awhile, so my guess is that is the problem. It might be due to too many things on the same circuit being used all at the same time, which caused an overload, AND if the breaker was going bad, it popped it and now nothing works on that circuit.

If indeed all that has no power now was on the same circuit, replace that one breaker. But if an overload was the main cause, you will need somebody to wire in another breaker or two to separate the overloaded circuit. Good luck !!

It sounds like a fuse has blown in your breaker box and it needs to be replaced. You will need to test all the fuses in the breaker box to see which one is bad. The go and get a new one and install it.
