RIP Oven

Hard to tell, can't see your oven from here.

Most are fairly easy to fix. Gas or electric stove?

Element(s) being the leading cause of oven failure, they run from
the high $20's to $70 or so each. Five minutes to install. Other than
that, it might be cheaper to replace the entire stove.

Call around, look for your local scratch and dent appliance store?

 

I love my Kenmore brand stove. Most stores have good stoves, some are better than others.

If you have cast iron skillets, do NOT go for glass top, they will scratch it unless you are extra careful about sliding or moving the iron skillets around.

I love my electric stove with self clean. I will NOT go for gas even it is quick but a real fire hazard at best. Not suitable if you have kids that likes to play with fire.

My oven is over two years old and just recently replaced the element, I used it so much that I shorted the life of the element LOL. Cost us $70 from the mom and pop appliance store near us.

My oven I had before this one, I had it over 15 years, had one time element replaced and the electronic headboaard popped and quit.

 

I have a pretty new GE that is great! The hidden elements make cleaning MUCH easier. If I were doing it over, though I would probably change to the model that has two ovens rather than one.

and im so sorry about your Oven, poor thing had the will

 

I got a Fridgedaire Gallery glass top. It had everything I wanted. cost me $849.

just a thought look at the close out specials and see what floor models the different places might have on sale. i had found a stove similar to my new one for $550. I would have gotten it but I just did not like it.

 

I really like the glass top ones. So much easier to keep clean!

Mine's a Kenmore, but it came with the house, so I didn't have a say in choosing it, but it works a lot better than the old model in the old house, so I'm happy with it.

 

I wish mine would die. It's so basic and so old, it doesn't even have a light in it. It was here when we bought the house, as was the fridge. Die, oven, die!

I cant do glass top at all, but I wish they still made the solid element electric ones. Honestly, I'd rather have gas, but we're all electric. Ick. No real chef uses electric!

 

Oh No!! And I thought "Oven" was a name for your chicken!!
