Action
1Are other parts of the range working - is the clock on, do the ovens and oven neons work? If not then there is probably no power to the range. Investigate power supply.
2Remove the light bulb (see ‘Servicing Procedures’). Check the bulb with a resistance with a meter. The cold resistance should be very approximately 100 ohms. Replace it if it is open circuit.
3 & 4 If the bulb is OK then move the range forward (see ‘Servicing Procedures’) and remove the rear cover. With the meter check the continuity of the wiring to the bulb and the action of the switch. Replace wiring or switch as necessary.

Action
One element not working
Remove the element - see the ‘Servicing Procedures’ section for the correct procedure. Check it with a resistance meter. Replace with a new element if necessary. If the element is OK then move the range forward (see the ‘Servicing Procedures’ section for the correct method) and check the continuity of the wiring and the thermostat.
No element working
Remove the range cooktop and check the thermostat and function switch
