do ranges have their own fuses?

I was talking to MIL for a bit put the phone back on it's charger and noticed the clock on the stove isn't working. Took the charger for the phone and plugged it in it didn't light up. The coffee pot on the other end of the wall is lit up and working so is the fridge. So I called hubby w/ my findings but he said he didn't think it was a fuse. He thought because the coffee pot and fridge were on the same fuse he thinks. But why else would everything else still work on that circuit we haven't had a storm or power surge so ???? And I want to say where our oven is now is where a double oven was (when we bought the house it was burnt orange and didn't work) and I want to say it was on it's own fuse because it was electric. However the range we have now is gas but electric ignition.
Any suggestions as to what I can look for aside from waiting for hubby to get home? I did pop the ground fault on the outlet and that didn't make a difference. I don't know how to tell if a fuse is blown nor can I get to it as he buried that corner with stuff.

Actually, I would think that the stove would be on a different fuse or circuit than the other things. The reason that I think that is because you have to have a different kind of plug for the stove. If that is the case, it could be that the fuse that you need to replace could be behind the stove or it might be somewhere in your breaker box.
Hope everything worked out for you.

I really don't know much about that kind of stuff either. I'd say turn the breaker off and on, see if that does anything, then again that could be dangerous. If it's not necessarily needed right now i'd leave it till he got home.

It could have it's own fuse. Mine has it's own breaker. Depends on how they did the electric in your place. Hopefully you guys can get it figured out.

Some do, some don't. Fuses and circuit breakers should be labeled what they protect. When your husband gets home I'd make a plan to do this with him. You should know as much as he does about diagnosing an electrical problem. Start with that.
