Hey all,
I hope this is in the right section. I've hooked up my electric furnace and it was working for a while and then suddenly I can't seem to get any power to it.

The set up is MFSU > MV Transformer > LV Transformer > Electric Furnace (also see pic below)
It's the only machine hooked up right now as I'm in the process of moving things below the house I built and just need something to cook the insane amounts of cobble I've accumulated. There's more than enough power in the MFSU (it's about half full). Any help is appreciated.

Youve completly got it wrong. The MFSU outputs throuhg THE DOT, and the transformers INPUT throuhg the THREE dots

the 3 dots face the HIGHER voltage, the MFSU outputs through it's dot. Use a wrench/electric wrench to change the direction the machines are facing.

The real question here is how did he get the mfdu without knowing these things.

On the transformers, the 3 dots indicates where the higher power needs to go through, the dot indicates the outputs. That would be why, as you are trying to send power through but it isn't going through.

I put the dots at the front so that you guys could get a clear picture of which way the transformers are pointed. I know very well that they're the outputs. I guess I should have mentioned that I've pointed each transformer in every direction in a desperate attempt to get it to work, to no avail.

Since noone else seems to know.

When you apply a redstone signal to a transformer (in this case the lever above the geothermal), it reverses it's function. So with no redstone signal it takes a higher EU packet and splits it into smaller ones, when you apply a redstone signal it takes smaller EU packets and outputs a higher EU packet.

So, your MV transformer is expecting EU from the LV transformer and isn't paying any attention to the MFSU as that would be its output.
