I'm assuming you have an electric stove. These ranges require both 240 and 120 volts. If the stove is not getting enough power and certain outlets don't work, it seems that something is miswired. Either (1) the miswiring causes a short when the stove is on, tripping the circuit breaker thereby turning off certain outlets, or (2) the miswiring is such that the stove is wired in series, and turning it on effectively shunts electricity toward it away fron other outlets.
In any case, you should discontinue use of the stove and examine the wiring, either yourself if qualified or by an electrician.

Not sure I fully understand your question--if it is a question--but here goes------------ (1) go to the breaker box and reset the breaker for the range/oven >> this will be propably "grey" color coded 220v --50 amp breaker>>to be sure just reset all if you don"t know which one. Both sides of the breaker have to be "putting out juice"(live). Some "stoves" have a fuse installed inside someplace>>follow the path that electricity flows through the power cord to find it. Check the wall plug for damage. There are other things too, but check the easy things first--you can always "ask another question" later. Good Luck.

Stove is electric??
They are 230 volt. You need a volt meter set to 250 Volts AC or higher. Unplug the stove and check the Voltage. Ground to one side show around 120 volts and Ground to other side show around 120 volts and Both sides will show 230 volts. If, it not around this you losing one side of your 230 volts. IF, these Voltages are OK you losing it in the Stove!
IF, it in the Plug check the Circuit Breaker for the stove, it twice the size of other Breakers, it may have thrown in a weird way or be bad and need replaced. Turn it off and back on and see what happen.

in case you have the difficulty Jrbot replaced into speaking approximately, the place turning the range on feeds potential to the breakers that are on the broken line you have got fire probability on your hands using way an edison 3 cord cct works. long tale short , in case you have any 3 cord ccts in the domicile they might now be donning the mixed lots of the two ccts on the unbiased cord extremely than only the unbalanced element. this would take the present as much as a level it particularly is only too intense for the cord = overheating= fire. Lic Electrician above me can decrease back that up or shoot me down, yet thats my understand-how of the area. In any experience you desire a sparky speedy.

Does your breaker trip? your probably lacking the proper amperage to power all the electronic in your home. If thats the case you would have to call an electrician to increase the size of your breaker box to allow for higher amps.

Wow, don't put off having that checked out.
Above poster can be right, plus it sounds like your you're getting power from only one "leg", instead of 2 "leg"s of "hot" wiring.
Sounds dangerous, have it looked at by an electrician!
Hope this helps, Dave

I'm not sure what you are saying.
Perhaps you have overloaded a circuit.
