If the "hot" incoming from your distribution panel goes directly to your bathroom first and then to other receptacles in the circuit it could be that the GFCI in your bathroom has tripped. The GFCI has the capacity to protect all of the down stream devices. You may have plugged something into one of your kitchen receptacles and the device had a ground fault on it and that would not be enough to trip the breaker but would trip a GFCI receptacle. This condition is normally caused by a GFCI outlet being tripped. These can be placed in the kitchen, in the bathroom, or sometimes in the basement. If you check all of these places and cannot find a GFCI either start looking elsewhere in the house or contact an electrician. If you do locate the GFCI outlet and that does not correct the problem then their is either more GFCI outlets to be reset or there is a more serious problem that should be addressed by an electrician.

Note: most homes have multiple GFCI outlets protecting multiple circuits. <><><>

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Is a 50 amp sub panel enough to do a bathroom and kitchen?

Possibly if the kitchen does not have an electric over and electric cook-top and no eclectic water heater in the bathroom. If they are electric have an electrician evaluate what is being powered in the kitchen and the bathroom to determine if a 50 amp sub-panel is large enough. I would for sure at least go with a 60 amp sub-panel.


Why would the two light fixtures and one overhead fan in your bathroom all go dead at once and remain dead even though the breaker has not tripped?

Proably due to a GFCI breaker located in an outlet either in the bathroom or on the same circuit, possibly in another room like the kitchen or other bathroom. You will see the button on the outlet....

How do you know if you have a electric stove?

Go to your electric panel and see if you can find a 40 amp breaker. If you see one that there is a good chance that you have a electric stove in the kitchen. If you don't pay a gas bill then chances you are using an electrical range.
