Two Day Vacation
UPDATE: We are on an extended vacation from cooking! Appliance professional quoted a cost to fix the range that neared its original cost and surpassed the cost of some brand new ranges! Stan has ordered the part online and he will fix it himself. It's supposed to arrive today. Meantime, I have to call a washing machine professional ... washer is out ... again.
When out of nowhere, our stove/oven stopped working last night. That's not exactly true. It would not turn OFF and began beeping incessantly and flashing an "F1" message after it switched from bake to broil for my veggie casserole. Because my wonderful husband knows where all of our manuals are, he found the manual and looked up the meaning of the "F1" message. Although we already knew what it would mean.
"If the fault code and beeps continue, disconnect power to the applicance and call an authorized servicer."
Of course we knew this. It makes perfect sense. Baking season. Gift season. Tight budget season. Added to the year of major repairs to our home/vehicles.
Said servicer doesn't come until Thursday.
I choose to look at it as a two-day vacation from cooking. An excuse for cereal and sandwiches for every meal! The kids will start begging for pizza any minute. I'm trying not to remember that I have a bread maker, crock-pot, griddle, microwave and probably five other heat giving appliances to help us through this time.
Ah, vacation!

Did you know my oven quit two years ago and I still haven't fixed it? I just refuse to pay the price. Instead, I use my $24 Black and Decker toaster oven and we're all just fine. Especially if you throw in a few meals from the $15 crock pot from time to time!
Call Steve...he resurrected our 20 year old dryer with a $10.00 part! Maybe he can help... SS
