If it's a gas stove, check the pilot light. Lift the stovetop and see if there's a little gas flame burning near or between the burners on the side that's not working. You should be able to see a pilot light burning on the side that is working. You can relight the pilot light with a match.

If it's an electric stove, check the circuit breakers. Electric ranges operate on 220 volts, mostly for the benefit of the oven. But to get that 220, two 110's are strapped together electrically. And it's with two circuit breakers. The burners are hooked up with half of them across half the buss and the other half across the other half. One half your buss could be down. Does your oven work at full strength? It doesn't cost anything to find the circuit breaker to your range (either a pair of breakers side by side or a big double one) and cycle it. Turn it off and turn it back on again and see if anything changes. You don't have to be an electrician to do that.

The kitchen work triangle is made up of the three main work sites or work areas in the kitchen, and these are the refrigerator, the sink, and the stove or cooktop.
