I have a flat top electric stove/oven, all heating range elements don't get hot anymore, no heat at all, they seem to have stopped working simultaneously, oven still turns on, what could be the issue? GE jbs55w0j1ww in this case. No recent house wiring changes.

Looks like of the 3 wires coming in, 2 are used for the clock/oven control display. Having one wire out may give the appearance the oven was "turning on" but the elements inside weren't getting red. Or a dryer that spins but doesn't get warm.
I opened up the back of the range after disconnecting it, and saw that where the cord screws in (back bottom), one of the connections had become charred and broken. Cleaning up the connection and screwing it in again real tight everything works again. Right wire here:

So in this particular oven the ranges are all analog, no control board just straight connection to the infinite switches from power, so you can test for connectivity from the plug through the system. Might be worth double checking that the plug is providing correct voltage as well.
