Well, the repair man came and said that the oven controller was broken. He left, and a little while later, I got a call from the repair company, and they told me that no one supplied the part any more. Our stove is about 20 years old. But, they had some one who repaired than. G thought that we could get a new stove for a little more than the cost of repair. At least, that's what her co-workers told her. I had gotten on line an priced a new range and knew very well that was not that case.
Any way, that night we went out to look at ranges. Sears, Best Buys, H. H Gregg, Clarks, and Home Depo. All of them were priced in around $1500 +- . Significantly more that repairing the part. Besides that, the place that G's co-workers said to go to get the great deal was closed.
Our only decision was to go ahead and repair the part. Well, I get a call two days later from the repair company telling me the the part could not be repaired.
So, a new range is in our future. While we were out looking, we found out that slide in ranges (which we have) do not come in a standard size. So we have to be careful what we buy, because it might not fit.
Since the top of the range still works, we are careful not to NEED to cook anything in the oven.
