    Can't figure out why only have part power
    Last night our power went out ; when we woke up to being cold ; we reset the breakers all came back on but one bedroom, refrig, microwave which is all 110; and the stove which is all on its own breaker for 220. There is some power to these outlets because after a time the stove will start making buzzing noises and you can see the clock come on faintly trying to power up. Please help we're an elderly couple with no money for an electrician.

    Sounds like one leg of your service may be out. Call your power company NOW. They should be able to check their side of the service.
    If it is not on their side you may have no choice but to call an electrician.
