Kenmore Pro 40503 Electric Cooktop
As of this morning, the elements will not turn on. The "elements on" light turns on when you turn on element, but none of the elements will get warm or hot, regardless of whether it is on Lo or High. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.
