I am having the worse luck with stoves and this year ALL appliances in general.
As some of you have read on other threads, I have been without an oven for almost a month 'n a half. They finally got the part in and came today - what should have been a 30 minute job turned into 2.5 hours.
They left without having done a thing. sigh, cry, scream, laugh, sigh, cry, scream... about the only good thing was the boss said - no charge - he couldn't do a darn thing and therefore no charge.
In order to reach the sensor that needed to be replace ($300) the top of the stove and the burners had to be lfted off. There are 4 screws for each burner going thru the top plate, another plate under and after that I'm not sure. Half of them were so rusted on they could not get them off. These guys are not amateurs and they just looked at each other. Answer of course, is to drill out the offending screws - one screw had already sheared off.
Not equipped to do that in the home - stove has to go to the shop. It has to be done right and the new replacements required tap and die. If not done properly and it is loose - there is the chance that there could be loose play that would be dangerous with the propane.
Three choices -
1. my ex could probably drill it out (but not sure he has the patience) and if he did the "tap & die" job improperly - who could I yell at?
2. pay and $end it to the $hop. $$ ($800)
3. buy a new $tove. even more $$$! ($1000 + taxes & installation)
I'm completely deflated right now... but I'm telling you... if Cousin Murphy is any where in the neighbourhood - well, I WILL be feeling ...
