While bayratt COULD be right, surely, it is actually more likely to end up being the FUSE, the little
glass screw-in jobbie. It could be either, but I know when this happened to me, right at freaking
thanksgiving, haha, it was a fuse which took out one leg of the....thingie. Of course then that
begs the question, what blew the fuse. You will want to keep an observant eye out on that in the
future, see if it does anything else bizarre. Might have a bad element that blew the fuse. But fuse
or breaker first off.

I have old style double cartridge fuses for both my oven and my dryer. When one side failed on a circuit, the heat was the first thing to go. If you have the cartridge fuses, replace both of them at the same time, it is real difficult to detect the blown one.
