Everything in our house is electrical; stove, heat, hot water, dryer etc.. Yesterday we lost hot water. A check w/a voltimeter showed power to the heating element so we thought we would need to replace it. However this morning we have found several other weird things are occurring. Our electric stove "on" light comes on but there is no power to the burners or oven. Our clothes dryer will spin but there is no heat. The hot water heater still does not work eother but all our other lights and appliances seem to be functional including our 700 watt microwave

You have one leg of your service out. Call your utility company right away and report this.
