I have tried several outlets and checked there connections, with no luck , none are back feed.I also tried to replace the fan switch with no luck.Could a faulty outlet do this also?

We have a gas stove.There is a GFCI in the kitchen that when turned off , does not turn anything else off?Replaced that GFCI in the past few months.Lived in the house for 13 1/2 years.Replaced all the outlets in the house when we moved in

Sounds like you lost a leg of Supply power, Try turning your stove on to see if it heats up, if it doesn't, call your power company and have them check incoming power

The circuit has been broken some where and it usually is a plug . Pull out the plugs and check the connections and make sure they are good and especially if they are back wired ( wires stabbed into the back of plugs) if they are take out and rewire with terminal loops onto screws this is a very common problem and hopefully solves your problem

Check wall outlets in the circuit. There could be a loose wire connection.

swap in another wall light-switch to the bedroom that the ceiling light isn't working in. Be sure and flip the breaker off first. Also check all your GFI plugs ...sometimes theyre hooked up wrong and the ground circuit gets interupted.

it might be that only half of your breaker box has power. theres 220 volts coming in that powers each side of the box with 110v.
pull your main breaker out, should be a double one, and check the contacts for corrosion. replace if bad or otherwise just push it back in.

first unscrew the covers on the recpts and see if any have a wire that is off somewhere along the line you are not getting power thru to the rest of the circuts
