A few months ago, I had steaks under the broiler when I heard sizzlesiiiizzzlesizzlePOP! The broiler went out. Ok, fine. I turned on the oven to finish them. Nope, didn't work. I ended up finishing them in a cast iron skillet (which was quite good, by the way).
My husband finally had time to look at it this past week. He replaced the ignitor. Nope. We found out that the range was 16 years old. We went to Lowes to check out a new one. Thank God for Labor Day sales! We picked a lovely Whirlpool with 5 burners and a two-piece grate that goes all the way across the top. Originally $749, we got it for $600.
They delivered it on Monday. Everything looked great... burners worked... but after the delivery people left, we tried the oven. Nope. No oven. No broiler.
A repair man came on Wednesday. He was stumped. When he pulled it away from the wall, everything worked fine. When he pushed it back in, no oven or broiler. He recommended a new new one.
So.... today, the new new one was delivered. I made them check everything before they left. Oven works great, broiler works great. Yay! I have my oven back! Isn't it pretty?
