I already replaced one burner due to rust. That burner is the one I use the most and it looks like it might need to be replaced again. The handyman who was out, said he might be able to do it. I'll ask my old handyman who will be here soon. But it looks like the part is around $70 plus shipping. Then there is the installation fee. I had an appliance repair guy here once. $250. That's half the price of a new stove. A used one is less than that. With just me here now, I won't be doing much cooking. |

There is this place: http://homeappliancebargains.com/prestashop/ I plan to get a used stove from them in white. Then as my other appliances fail, I'll go with white. White is much easier to find. I didn't switch before as I didn't want to switch the range hood but it is damaged due to smoke. So it will be replaced too! In white. I think white will look better in there anyway as the floor is black and white. They will likely take my old stove, fix it up and sell it. Used to be a place in Lynnwood that had everything. I mean everything. Even if it was obscure, they would have it. You might have to put on hip waders (they provided them) and go digging. It might take you three days to find it, but they had it! Also in Lynnwood was a great little appliance store that would order and if you needed it, install parts for a reasonable price. Sadly both of those places are gone. |

I found a replacement in such a store. There's actually a store like that pretty much right across the street from me. I intend to get a reconditioned stove. I'm not in a poor area though. Cheaper still is this place but I believe those things are sold a is. https://www.seconduse.com/ |

Actually they do have appliance junk yards... same as one can purchase reconditioned appliances. There are plenty of mom n' pop appliance stores whose main business is selling reconditioned appliances, and in my experience they've been better than new. My basement fridge was twenty years old when I bought it for $100 and it's been running perfectly for 16 years now. There are lots of used appliance stores... what do you think happens to the old appliances when some fool buys a brand new one for mega bucks because it has to look perfectly modern. Many times the old appliances were made much better. heavier gauge sheet metal. better paint jobs, better chrome plating, and heavier duty motors. I really don't care that the older appliances didn't have computer moduals, they typically won't last five years and cost an arm and two legs to replace. The main reason I keep my 1990 Landcruiser is because it has no computer moduals and everything about it more heavy duty than in a new one that now costs nearly four times as much as I paid and won't last half as long if that. Occasionally I'll look at new kitchen stoves and fridges, thay're all made of crap pot metal. Yars ago I worked for O'Keefe and Merrit, the west coast name for Tappen. Each year those appliances are made crappier. Cadilac was once top of the line for all automobiles, today Cadilac is as crappy as crappy gets... an Edsel was made far better than today's Caddy. Today's Caddy is made to Asian standards. it's seat barely fits a boney Asian ass. can't even get properly laid in a modern Caddy... my '78 Eldorado's interior was more spacious, oppulent, and comfy than the best Vegas honeymoon suite. A '78 Eldorado was more lavish than any vehicle on the market today... in comparison a new Rolls Royce is a junk yard POS... I wouldn't pay $50 for a brand new Rolls, it's gotta be more comfortable sitting atop a camel. |

I'm betting > he didn't leave a forwarding address. That is the claim. He slipped and fell. Of course I can find an appliance repair person but I bought the cheapest stove possible. Probably not worth it to repair. I do have to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one because this very issue was on the news and they said incidents are increasing. It can happen with nobody even near the stop. Nobody knows why but they are urging people not to use self clean. I did use self clean feature just prior. |

That looks like it might be a satisfactory solution to the small capacity units. It might be able to replace a toaster oven - that's a good thing. https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Power-...FO-B/308668525 |

An installation fee for an oven door?They slip into place easily. If is is not a self cleaning oven you usually need to take the door off to clean in. There are two little lock clips that you flip up and then you lift it up and out. Any fool can to it.... almost any fool. |

My guess is that's your main motivation - unless you enjoy cooking foods in really small portions. |

Any fool can to it.... almost any fool. The door is fine. It's the glass panel which oddly enough looked like metal with a window in it to me. But apparently it's all glass. Shawn is going to get me a stove from a friend who reconditions them. |

Last time I ordered a burner, it was $35 plus shipping. If the glass is $70 plus shipping then about $75 for installation (45 min,) the another $70 (or more) plus shipping, that's over $215. The other two burners would need to be replaced soon after. That's another $70+. Add in the drip pans which I will also need soon because while I was in the hospital, my ex put the brand new ones in and ruined them. A new stove is $430. So it doesn't seem prudent to repair. |

Once in a while I'll have French fries, onion rings or Jack In The Box Tacos. But I just buy them already made. |

My friend (the one who had the oven door shatter) just got an air fryer. She posted a pic of their dinner. Zucchini and chicken. Both looked the same. Brown. Not very appetizing. |

It was nice if Charltte or I had a hankering for a few tater tots or something. Less hassle than cleaning up a toaster own and the amounts were too small to use the oven. |

That looks like it might be a satisfactory solution to the small capacity units. It might be able to replace a toaster oven - that's a good thing. https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Power-...FO-B/308668525 == Yes, mine is like that! It's really good! Oh and I toast my cheese sandwiches in it. Perfect) |

My friend (the one who had the oven door shatter) just got an air fryer. She posted a pic of their dinner. Zucchini and chicken. Both looked the same. Brown. Not very appetizing. === As with all cooking. It depends how you prepare and cook them. |

If the item in question is nearing the end of its life and you can expect a series of repairs (and the inconvenience of having the thing unavailable while it is being repaired), it's better in the long run to buy new. Of course, if you can buy a used one that is not as old or was built to be more reliable, that might be better than new. Cindy Hamilton |

To be fair, the light bulb was in a ceiling fixture and she could not climb a ladder to reach it. I figured if she couldn't do that, she couldn't horse an oven door into place. Cindy Hamilton |
